I got the idea from another deck that was an altered version of the Legend's Legacy precon, formatted as a graveyard recursion deck. I would link to it, but he hasn't uploaded it anywhere.

This is basically a Commander's Soup deck, with the top graveyard commanders thrown into the 99. As one would expect, most of the deck leans heavily toward Golgari. However, Jodah's all-color identity does prove as useful as his pump ability and "legendary cascade" effect. In other words, the Jeskai spectrum was not ignored.

I have not as of yet tried to build this deck. To be honest, I have yet to playtest it. Just throwing it out there to crowd source suggestions. Don't know if anyone has tried this yet. Not sure if the ramp is tight enough. Don't know if there's enough targeted removal. Haven't added any board wipes, and not certain that it needs them.

Any suggestions are welcome. I'd prefer it if you could tell me what to take out as well as what to put in, and I try not to use infinite combos.

Enjoy!
