Jeleva, Big Booty Spellslinger

Commander / EDH

daude


Maybeboard


My personal take on the 'spellslinger' archetype with Jeleva as my commander. Greed is good, and I love playing board wipes and crazy spells for free.

The goal of this deck is to cast lots of big splashy spells, take extra turns, and somehow win. Set up Mirari, Nivix Guildmage, and Echo Mage, then cast and copy either Army of the Damned, Cruel Ultimatum, or Rise of the Dark Realms with my general and then swing with zombie tokens, Ulamog, and whatever else I can steal from my opponents. Or set up Charmbreaker Devils and Omniscience and cast every spell pumping it up and swinging for lethal.

Where it suffers is against aggro decks that overrun the board early in the game and enchantment control/hate. Jeleva tends to draw a lot of hate in multiplayer games. I want to tune this deck to make it fast and effective. I am more of a control player by nature, I have some creatures in here either for their effects or for shenanigans. I have a few planeswalkers but no real way of protecting them for any length of time.

This is mostly a casual brew, not a high level competitive deck. The mana base is awful and one of the first things I plan to fix when I overhaul the deck.

Omniscience + Enter the Infinite + Laboratory Maniac are my backup win condition if they don't get exiled by Jeleva.
