I've been wanting to make an Izzet artifact commander for as long as I've been playing Magic. The closest thing I got was Breya, Etherium Shaper, who is a wonderful commander in her own respect, but four colors is a little unwieldy, and the deck wasn't as consistent as a well-tuned artifact deck should be. Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain is everything that I wanted in an Izzet artificer. Doesn't draw as much hate as old Jhoira of the Ghitu, but is still useful and threatening enough to keep a deck afloat.

The deck that I built around Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain, is based on 0-and 1-drop artifacts. Laboratory Maniac is in the deck, since drawing the entire deck is a very real possibility. Blue Sun's Zenith is also in the deck to assist with Laboratory Maniac, or to draw someone else out with massive amounts of combo-mana. Other wincons in the deck are Jaya's Immolating Inferno, BrainFreeze, Aetherflux Reservoir, Words of Wind, and Grapeshot. The deck is designed to run pretty consistently. Get artifacts onto the field until there are enough to power up the Paradox Engine, get the Laboratory Maniac, and draw the whole deck. Alternatively, using the Isochron Scepter with either Retract, or Hurkyll's Recall, can easily net enough casts in one turn to get a lethal storm count on Grapeshot or BrainFreeze.

The deck is designed to run pretty efficiently and consistently. There's only a little bit of protection in the deck, since I mostly focused on cheapo artifacts. Advice and suggestions are always appreciated. If there's something that doesn't seem like it belongs, or if it seems like I am missing something, please say so!

Thanks!
