Budget Version

Lands are expensive.
If you're looking to budgetify replace dual lands with remaining shocks lands/fetch lands/basics/etc. Any expensive cards can most likely be replaced with ramp, other legendaries, card advantage, removal, so long as it wasn't card draw or mana related (Lists below). Similar effects for replacements of those cards will work just as fine but they may not be cascading or cascading into. When possible replace a legendary with a legendary of similar CMC to keep consistent cascades.

How to Play

1. Keep hands that you believe will let you cast Jodah. Earlier the better.
2. Cast Jodah.
3. Get card draw on casting legendary spells. Just 1 is normally fine.
   Chulane, Teller of Tales
   Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
   Reki, the History of Kamigawa
   Shanid, Sleepers' Scourge
   Vega, the Watcher
   The Great Henge
   
4. Get access to mana reduction/continuation. In most cases Animar, Soul of Elements + Relic of Legends will allow you to play any creature by tapping 2 legendaries. Something that is fairly easily done after cascading with 1 legendary.
   Relic of Legends
   Honor-Worn Shaku
   Animar, Soul of Elements
   Kethis, the Hidden Hand
   Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
   Esika, God of the Tree   + Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei or Samut, Voice of Dissent or Maelstrom Wanderer
   Amulet of Vigor + Karametra, God of Harvests
   Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
   Bard Class
   
5. Cast your entire deck. Karametra, God of Harvests and Chulane, Teller of Tales can help with playing every land in your deck in that turn as well.
6. By this point you should have haste with Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei and you can swing and probably win. Especially so with a God-Eternal Rhonas

If you want to ramp the deck up a notch you can run some tutors. I got fairly bored of running tutors in decks so I don't have any but they can be a consistent way to get pieces you're missing.

Jodah is a massive kill on sight fair warning. If your group runs a lot of control then adding some counterspells or anti-counter legendaries like Dosan the Falling Leaf or Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir may be worthwhile. I personally enjoy it being all or nothing.

Amulet of Vigor is currently benched. Trying to see if its worthwhile since it really only works with Karametra, God of Harvests and Timeless Lotus. If you're running budget lands it's more worthwhile to run though it is an expensive card.
Also currently testing Intruder Alarm over Mirari's Wake. The idea is it will combo with Esika, God of the Tree  , Relic of Legends, Honor-Worn Shaku, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, mana dorks, as well as let creatures be untapped after casting everything so you can swing the same turn. Untapping opponents' creatures could potentially be an issue.
