2022 Jhoira Voltron

Commander / EDH* UR (Izzet)

Aanar


Sideboard


Probably my most competitive deck. Built it when Jhoira came out, but never played other than goldfish testing. Need to update it with new cards. Probably take out the voltron win package and put in some counterspells that protect my stuff.

Pretty simple strategy (cheerios): Cast artifacts for free to trigger Jhoira. Once that and something is down that lets us draw 2 or more cards per artifact cast, it's off to the races to draw through the deck.

I designed it the voltron package to maximize scoring in a league I played in at the time. Once the pieces are in hand, Inner Fire gets enough mana to cast the rest and reuse the enchantment to get 2 extra combats to win all at once. Vigilance is needed on Jhoira since she won't get the untap part of the extra combat enchantment due to needed to do it before the Inner Fire mana disappears at end of phase.

No counterspells since there wasn't much interaction in my meta. I put in many of the cheap, low CMC artifacts with some kind of removal in case something is down that is blocking things like ones that restrict drawing to one per turn. No tutors since those were penalized in the league. They'd probably make things run smoother and especially help with digging for removal if needed.

Have, need to switch in:
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries // Laboratory Maniac might be better due to the lower CMC and only needing one [u] mana, but I pulled a Jace and there's less targeted removal that hits Planeswalkers than creatures.
Enthusiastic Mechanaut

Whishlist

Eruth, Tormented Prophet
Arcane Signet
Talisman of Creativity
Teferi's Ageless Insight
Grapeshot // Cheap and frees up my Aetherflux Reservoir for another deck.
Leveler // Not really needed once things are going. Nice to put in to close out a win faster as a courtesy is all if Jace or Lab Maniac is down.
