Jodah's abilities provide explosive combatsteps and card advantage. This whole deck revolves around keeping your creatures safe so you're able to swing with as much force as possible. This deck is so explosive that it can seemingly win out of nowhere. As you can see in the last panel "out", a lot of cards have been playtested. This build seems to work best when playing a lot of low-mana-cost legendary creatures with useful abilties whose stats get buffed by Jodah.
