My first venture into the commander format!

Jeleva looked too fun, so I had to buy the premade deck that had her. I replaced all the x-costing spells with haymakers and added a few creatures to help recycle/duplicate some spells after I cast them the 1st time off of Jeleva's ability. I've won quite a few games so far, but tbh it's because this deck is pretty unassuming until Jeleva comes down. I've found that I don't mind Jeleva getting killed since I can just recast her for more mana again! I've incorporated a few bounce spells to allow me to return her to my hand in case I run out of gas. I can then replay her for 4 at least, hoping to pull something huge and game-ending.

I've categorized the different spells in the deck to their purpose with custom headings. Bomb spells are generally the spells that you save your spell-copy effects for, since copying a wrath doesn't do much for you normally. The extra turn cards are good ones to copy as well, although I normally just use those spells to ramp to try and set up a big turn.

Clone Legion and Dualcaster Mage set up an infinite creature combo (the only infinite combo in the deck) if I copy the spell with the mage or copy it with a different spell-copy effect with the mage on the battlefield already. Just make sure you target your opponents at the end to stop the loop :)

If there's a good bomb-tastic spell that I'm missing that works well with Jeleva (spells with X in their cost don't work), let me know!
