Hi,

I'm trying to make a somewhat competitive Jodah deck, utilizing paying wubrg to play all my cards.

this is my list so far.
Jodah's Big boys

Commander

Jodah, archmage eternal

Approximate Total Cost:

already thinking of removing some cards though, as i feel they don't do much, like Brilliant Ultimatum, it's fancy, but it can whiff allot
Sandwurm Convergence, more of a meta card, but don't think on it's own it does much.
Emergency Powers still having doubts about this one, looks nice, but don't know if it will be that good.

any help to improve this is greatly apreciated :)

i put Fist of Suns in for backup if jodah keeps getting removed.

Cascading cateracts indeed is a good card to include yes :)

I had Jodah as my Commander for my current Golos deck. What I found is that if he got removed, it wasn't worth casting him again as I could just hard cast whatever instead. After all, at that point I'm spending 6 (4 plus Commander Tax of 2) plus 5 for WUBRG. Sure, you could split the cost over turns but if you're willing to pay eleven mana you'll just have an easier time hard casting most of your ridiculous stuff. This is also why I'm against Fist; you're paying 8 mana to 'cheat' something into play - might as well hard cast it.

Some kind of recursion could probably be better suited than Fist like Journey to Eternity.

Allready done some changes now

-1 mountain
-1 swamp
+1 urborg, tomb of yawgmoth
+1 Cascading Cataracts

-1 dockside extortionist
-1 Archfiend of despair
-1 Sunbird's invocation
+1 Blazing Archon
+1 Maelstrom Nexus
+1 Imp's Mischief

-1 Void winnower
+1 Nezahal, primal tide

havent got to cast sunbird's invocation yet, and imo takes to long to set up.
Void winnower i think is a pretty good stax card, but I think Nezahal brings more value

extortionist is also very situational I think, and Imp's Mischief can be very funny

I've got a similar high CMC decklist. If you want the lulz go with pyromancy.

If you're going for as powerful as possible Aminatou's Augury is probably better than brilliant ultimatum. Some non-eldrazi should be Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Emrakul, the Promised End. I imagine Blightsteel Colossus is better than something too. Baneful Omen would be strong with all your top-of-the-deck tutors.
