A legendary archmage from Dominaria, Jodah mastered all five colors of mana and played a crucial role in multiple Magic storylines—from the Ice Age to the New Phyrexian invasion. His immense power came with a cost, forcing him to wipe his own memory periodically to maintain his sanity.
How Jodah Works in Commander
Jodah, the Unifier is a five-color 5/5 that:
- Buffs all legendary creatures by +X/+X, where X is the number of legendary creatures you control
- Casts free legendary spells whenever you cast one from your hand, cascading into another legendary nonland card with a lower mana value
- Enables massive value—play one legendary spell, get another for free
Strengths:
- Insane value engine—turns every cast into two
- Perfect for a legendary tribal strategy
- Five colors provide access to the best cards in Magic
Weaknesses:
- Five-color mana requirements can be tricky
- No built-in protection, making removal a threat
- Needs careful deck-building to maximize synergy
