Elsha Show

Elsha of the Infinite is a very powerful Jeskai commander that works exceedingly well in a quasi-storm and noncreature-spells-matter archetype. This deck puts those two puzzle pieces together in order to get a cost reducer like Jace's Sanctum online and play cheap, cheap spells off the top of the library. Not only does this help get Elsha out asap but ideally it should provide a good boardstate to grind engines like Ponder off the top.

What makes Elsha so strong is her ability to play artifacts off the top.

Sensei's Divining Top is remarkable in this deck as I'm sure everyone has heard numerous times already, if it resolves you'll be able to carefully control the influx of cards to your hand in a totally broken way.

To end the game, combo off with something like gain from artifact ramp into a library draw and Jace, Wielder of Mysteries.

Winning Show

There are the combinations you're most interested in. Dig for these, get them and step closer to victory. There's challeges to each method and the deck is open to interaction so be vigilant.

Modus Operandi:

A. Get Sensei's Divining Top

B. Get one of these artifact cost reducers Cloud Key , Helm of Awakening , Etherium Sculptor

C. Get Elsha of the Infinite , Mystic Forge , or Future Sight online

D. Use the top to pick up every card in your library, cast Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and win.

Other Wins

1. Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter + net infinite mana with mana rocks + Sensei's Diving Top = Win any way you want. This wincon is really only worth approaching if your modus operandi has been irreparably interrupted.
2. Approach of the Second Sun + Dig Through Time and/or Flash of Insight I like this deceptively simple combination. If you can successfully cast Approach with one of these two cards in hand or Flash in your yard, the game is 1 turn away from ending. This is good if it presents itself early BUT I would still keep my eyes peeled for the modus operandi.
3. Swing in with Elsha for commander damage if you've cast 18 spells in 1 turn.

Considerations Show

This deck runs like absolutely no creatures, be careful with how you position yourself in regular (3+ opponents) matchups. The deck wants to methodically put the puzzle pieces together. If you're too much of a threat this will never happen. If possible hold counter magic to defend the comobo pieces being put together.
