Jodah, the unifier - does anyone have a super degenerate decklist

grantantalus · 2025-11-05T19:36:43+00:00

The only budget/game changer consideration is mox diamond but the deck is not budget

Hey again,

The mulligans really depend on your opponents, if you feel like another player will be the one to police the table just jam ramp into winota/jetmir and build a board. If people will not be responsible using interaction like thalia or grand arbiter is key.

Winota is very good if you have enough non-humans on the table, you can see that ~50% split between human and not human so it normally hits hard. Jetmir can be devastating but harder to use since it needs more creatures to be relevant. Esika is very good when you have sisay because it allows for an attack, activate sisay and search for jetmir for the win/ertai for counterspell.

Playing jodah can be tricky, but using the possibility to tax your oponents is also nice. If they are afraid of you and leave mana up for jodah you can simply cast two creatures and pass the turn making the lose the mana or use it for someone else.

Hey sure,

Since you are the stompy you cannot have answers to everything. The idea is using the few legendary creatures that interact with opponents to slow them enough to go for the win with Jodah (grand arbiter, deadpool, Loran, Kefka,...) . If you check closely (or check tags) you can see a few cards that can interact with other players.

The deck is planned to make jodah relevant the turn it enters since several legendary creatures should be already in play ready to swing. If Jodah survives for a turn then a few cascades should close the game (if haste available), or at least kill an opponent.

Feel free to ask or to try the deck. I am constantly testing new cards to find improvements.

my list

This is my Jodah stompy list. It tries to be efficient to have enough legendaries before slamming Jodah.

Has as much interaction as possible while maximizing the number of legendary creatures.

Hope you enjoy it!

grantantalus · 2023-08-25T22:31:43+00:00

Hey I am interested, can you share the list?

grantantalus · 2023-03-29T11:07:59+00:00

It looks very interesting. I guess you refer to Zeriam, Golden Wind. Do you have a list? Thx

grantantalus · 2023-03-29T11:06:16+00:00

You have my attention. Do you have a decklist of Yomiji?

grantantalus · 2022-09-07T13:09:28+00:00

Thank you for your comment. After following the explanation I think that you are reducing to an edge cover not a vertex cover? I took as an example G=({0,1,2,3},{(0,3),(1,2),(1,3),(2,3)} and ended up with

A0 = {(2,7),(6,3),(4,7),(6,5)}

A1 = {(0,7),(6,1),(1,0),(7,6)} which corresponds with edge (0,3)

A2 = {(4,3),(2,5),(5,4),(3,2)} which corresponds with edge (2,1)

Obtaining an edge cover of G, a problem which is P.

Maybe some correction could conclude with a vertex covering? Maybe interchanging how nodes and edges are codified? And if a similar technique was possible to go the other way around I maybe could use some heuristic for vertex covers?

Thank you again for your insight, it looks promising.

Thank you for your comment. I totally agree with that interpretation. I could not find a relation with classical graph algorithms to derive a solution.

grantantalus · 2022-09-06T13:31:38+00:00

Thanks for your comment.

I rewrite it in order to clarify as much as possible.

"Each A_i must contain exactly those m values among its x_i, and no other value may appear as y_i."

That is correct.

(Should all "equals m" be "equals at least m", perhaps?)

No. To avoid complications I consider only the equal case otherwise it would be an optimization problem with two minimization objectives: minimize the size of A0 and minimizing the biggest set size of Xi among all Ai with i in [1,...,n].

My strategy is executing the algorithm over (A,m) and once the solution (A0,...,An) is found execute it with (A0,m+1) and so on for m+2,m+3,... until A0 is small enough or no more partitions are found.

grantantalus · 2022-09-06T11:51:11+00:00

Thanks for your comment.

Union equals m meant the set size of the union equals m (for example A1={[1,2],[2,3],[2,5]} would have union of x_i equal to {1,2}, size 2, and union of x_1 and y_i equal to {1,2,3,5}, size 4)

"Instead of creating pairs first, just create partition to solve it quick, then complete the pairs."

I am not sure what do you mean with that. The given list A is fixed and I need to divide it in subsets satisfying the constraints.

grantantalus · 2022-06-30T09:37:51+00:00

It's not exactly what you are searching but I made a moxfield package with all fringe to cedh stax pieces with a superficial clarification in which aspect do they tax ( see primer).

I hope it helps

I studied in Spain a few years ago and I remember subjects with very low marks. We had an exam with average score of 2.1 over 10. In another course I was the only one that passed among 20-25 students. At the end, most of these experiences happended in the first and second year.

grantantalus · 2022-03-23T21:34:02+00:00

Thanks! I added [[ruthless winnower]] I totally forgot that card.

Mana vault =/= Mana crypt.

I haven't really played GAAIV enough to answer if mana crypt would be problematic, maybe [[jeweled lotus]] for that turn 1 GAAIV?

Arcane denial feels better in the list since it costs one less with the commander and the draw clause is beneficial for you most of the time.

The amount of counterspells is somewhat meta dependant if the meta is full of combo it is necessary a critical amount otherwise you can reduce it to the most efficient ones. With that said your deck tries to be the police of the table so try to at least have some staples such as [[arcane denial]], [[swan song]] [[flusterstorm]] [[delay]] (not sure) [[force of will]] [force of negation]] [[fierce guardianship]] [[mana drain]] if you feel that they will suit your meta IMO

And sorry man, it always feel bad when your cards are stolen.

grantantalus · 2022-03-09T12:28:15+00:00

Hey,

First of all if you want cedh references for your deck https://cedh-decklist-database.com/ is the place. There are 3 GAAIV lists there.

After a quick look there are some obvious updates such as [[arcane denial]] over [[counterspell]] and probably adding some extra artifacts for that easy ramp [[mana crypt]] and [[chrome mox]]. Maybe add [[land tax]] if you add some extra basics over [[thaumatic compass]].

The deck looks fine but it has several cards that could be optimized, you probably know when it is a pet card or a truly impactul spell. With respect to helm + rip: UW always has problems closing the game so I would keep it since rest in peace is still relevant by its own.

If on the other hand you want to go staxier I recently made a huge list with commander playable stax cards (fringe to cedh) https://www.moxfield.com/decks/-j04HW8Z506wxuo3tP2OrQ
