So, after a lot of playtesting, the deck is performing fairly consistently. While this is no cEDH deck by any stretch of the imagination, there's nothing quite so satisfying as ramping into five-colored mana and dropping ridiculous board threats on turn 4-7.

Why play Jodah over other five-color commanders? the answer is simple: because you have class, my friend. Jodah is a much more flavorful option than a lot of other commanders because of his lore, and has the potential to be a lot faster early on if not removed.

The goal of Jodah is simple: RAMP. Ramp as hard as you can, and put ridiculous threats onto the board with Jodah, the ender of games. This deck can be extremely explosive, often winning or far ahead by turn 6 or 7 if Jodah is not removed immediately. Your key cards are big draw engines such as Myojin of Seeing Winds or Conflux, which when played on turn 5 or 6, is going to propel you far ahead in the game. Sunbird's Invocation paired alongside Omniscience will just win the game for you.

Hands to look out for: 2-3 mana of varying colors, along with 1 or 2 ramp cards and some playable threats.

Though the deck has some unique strengths, it does have some glaring weaknesses. The most obvious is the lack of protection for Jodah. Should Jodah be killed over and over, we have backup in cards such as Fist of Suns and our natural mana ramp will allow us to cast all the massive spells eventually, but Jodah vanishing in the early game is certainly felt more often than not. However, if you feel that Jodah is a constant target throughout your games, some of the accessory sorceries and enchantments like In Garruk's Wake or Fevered Suspicion could be easily removed for more protection.

I'm open to any suggestions! I've had loads of fun tweaking this deck, and it's gone through tons and tons of iterations so far, each playing out much different than the last. Playing around with five-colors is awesome! I'm looking mainly for better ways to protect Jodah without sacrificing the necessary ramp or card draw. I'd rate the overall power level of this current shell at around a 6.5 or 7. If you wanted to power up the deck, you could easily remove some of the fun cards like Nezahal, Primal Tide for more tutors, interaction, and fast mana artifacts.
