Summary

• Jeskai is the slang term for white/blue/red cards.
• Jeskai commanders offer powerful synergies with non-creature cards in Commander format
• Legendary creatures like Sevinne, Shu Yun, and Zedruu excel as Jeskai commanders.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's popular 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Commander format allows players to construct decks around key legendary ♊creatures selected as a deck's commander. Choosing a deck's commander is an 🍷important decision, as it not only influences a deck's strategy but the cards that can be included in it — Commander decks can only include cards within the chosen commander's color identity.

For this reason, commanders with several colors are quite popular, as they allow decks to draw from a larger pool of cards in deck construction. Regarding three-color identities, Jeskai (the combination of Blue, Red, and White) is highly regarded for its powerful synergies with non-creature cards and control options. Let's examine the legendary Jeskai creatures🅰 from🅘 Magic's past and see which ones make for the best commanders.

Updated March 3, 2025, by Ryan Hay: Jeskai is an agile and powerful color combination that combines the best of the colors, taking fast mana, powerful creatures, and some of the best utility in Commander to make for a uniquely positioned commander identity. There is a wide range of commanders to pick from when building your deck, and three more creatures are joining the list: Zinnia, Valley's Voice; Dr. Madison Li; and Captain America, First Avenger.

17 Sevinne, The Chronoclasm 🔴

Time Waits For No One

Sevinne, the Chronoclasm i🐼s a 2/2 Human Wizard for five mana that can't be dealt damage and s🧜ynergizes with the Flashback mechanic. The selling point of Sevinne is that whenever its controller casts their first instant or sorcery from their graveyard each turn, that spell is copied.

Th𝐆is can provide an impressive amount of value, especially when casting spells from one's graveyard that are capable of drawing cards or💧 dealing direct damage to an opponent.

Cards like Snapcaster Mage, Mission Briefing, and Torrential Gearhulk all let you cast spells from your graveyard and can turn all your spells into two-for-one by doubling them up. If you build your deck like your graveyard as a second hand, you'll have access to all sorts of spells throughou✤t the game.

16 𒅌Shu Yun, The Silent Tempest

Strike Hard, Strike Quiet

While Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest is a blue creature, due to the Boros hybrid mana cost wi🎶thin its triggered ability, Shu Yun functions as a Jeskai command෴er. For the low cost of three mana, Shu Yun is a 3/2 with prowess, meaning its power and toughness increase until the end of the turn whenever its controller plays a noncreature spell.

This synergi🤡zes in impressive fashion with its triggered ability, allowing its controller to pay two mana to provide a creature with double strike until the end of the turn whenever they cast a nꦏoncreature spell.

When chaining several noncreature spells together, if Shu Yun is given double strike, it is possible for it to grow large enough to take out a player in a singl🧸e attack via Commander Damage.

15 Zedruu The Greathearted 🦩

More Like The GOAThearted

A commander synonymous with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Group Hug archetype, Zedruu the Greathearted is a creature capable of gifting one's own permanents to their opponents. W🦩ith a strange three-mana ability, Zedruu gives a permanent you control to another player of your choice.

It can seem counterintuitive to give away your hard-cast☂ s💮pells, but there are plenty of bad cards you can give away too.

Group🦩 hug is a deck theme that has you giving advantages to your opponents such as extra lands or cards to draw, in exchange for either greater advantages for yourself or temporary truces among your opponents until you have enough of an advantage to win.

You cꩲan give opponents cards that hinder your opponents, like Nine Lives, Steel Golem, and Aggressive Mining, to put a wrench in their plans. 𝔍The payoff for all this work is that at the beginning of your turn, you draw cards and gain life equal to the number of permanents you own but other players control.

14 Vadrokﷺ, Apex Of Thunder 𝓡

Any Creature Can Be Your Commander

Vadrok, Apex of Thunder is a commander capabl🗹e of utilizing the Mutate mechanic to cast spells from its owner's graveyard for free. A 3/3 with flying and first strike for three mana, Vadrok notably has access to a mutate cost of four mana.

While mutate and keywords are nice, the main appeal of Vadrok is its ability. It states that whenever it mutates, its controller may cast a noncreature spell with a mana value of three or less from their graveyard wit𓆉hout paying its mana cost.

Being able to cast spells from your graveyard gives☂ you opportunities to recast powerful removal spells like Swords to 🍒Plowshares over and over again to keep your opponents off the board.

13 🌜 Gavi, Nest Warden

Draw It All

While cycling is a useful ability꧙ within an♒y Commander deck, Gavi, Nest Warden is a Jeskai commander that puts this mechanic front and center. A 2/5 for five mana, Gavi allows the first card its controller would cycle each turn to be cycled൲ for free.

As Commander is a multiplayer format, this ability can be utilized on each player's turn, providing significant value and allowing you to easily dig through your deck for key cards anౠd answers.

Gavi even rewards its controller for drawing several cards on their turn (or on other players' turns), creating an adorable 2/2 dinosaur cat token whenever they draw their second card🌠 during a tur🐭n.

12 ๊ Pramikon, Sky Ramp💫art

Insurmountable Defenses

A legendary 1/5 Wall with flying and defender, Primikon, Sky Rampart is a unique commander that can prevent its controller from taking significant amo♌unts of damage. This is because upon entering the battlefield, Pramikon's controller chooses left or right, allowing players to only attack the nearest 𝐆opponent in the chosen direction.

Pramikon effectively prevents two of your three opponents from attacking you in a commander game while forcing their other opponents to direct their offense elsewhere. You can fill your de༺ck with other pillowfort effects like Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Sphere of Safety to make sure you're never attacked again.

11 🎃 Commodore Guff

Bust Out The Cake, It's A Planeswalker Party

Coming from the planeswalker centric preconstructed deck in Commander Masters, Commodore Guff is 🗹a special planeswalker, one that can be your commander, and empowers all your other Planeswalkers in play while he's at it.

He comes with a static ability to put a loyalty counter on♑ another planeswalker you control at the end of y🦩our turn. While not hugely impactful, it can help save a targeted planeswalker from being removed, or even get to you that much faster to popping their powerful abilities on your next turn.

If you're struggling to find the mana to cast your Planeswalkers while keeping up protective spells and creatures, Guff has you covered there too, creating 1/1 Wizard tokens that can tap to add red mana, with the stipulation that that man💝a is only to be used on planeswalker spells.

Guff also helps to re♛fill your hand when you start running low, drawing you cards for each planeswalker you control, and then damaging ꧑your opponents equal to the same amount.

10 Elsha Of The Infinite ♉

Give Yourself A Second Hand

A 3/3 with prowess for five mana, Elsha of the Infinite lets you look at the top card of your library at any time. Most notably, Elsha allows you to cast non💦creature spells from atop your l🐬ibrary and provides these spells with flash.

This means that not only can you access additional cards, but you can reactively play the majority of the spells in your deck duri🎐ng an opponent's turn.

You'll w♎ant some way to manipulate the top card of your library with cards lik🧸e Sensei's Diving Top or with repeatable ways to shuffle your library to keep cycling through new cards. Cards like Brainstorm can even take cards from your hand and put them on top of your library, letting you swap out spells at instant speed.

9 🥂 Kasla, The Broken 🦹Halo

Gather Around, We're Casting Spells

As a commander that provides tons of value for casting convoke cards, Kasla, the Broken Halo rewards you with extra cards every time you cast a spell with the convoke ability. You don't even have to pay the convoke cost of a card; it just has to have the convoke keyword on it to✤ activate Kasla's👍 ability.

When you do cast a spell with convoke, you get to scry two, picking whatever card you want the most to leave on top or even tuck both of them to the bottom of your deck if you don't like either of them. Then, you get to draw the card you leave on top. Since Kasla also has convoke, you can cast it much earlier in the game🥀 by tapping your early-game creatures.

8 Zinnia, Valley's Voice

A Whole Litter

Spamming the board with tons of creatures and tokens is 🌱a thrilling approach to your Commander game. The first time you have to reorganize your space to make room for all y🎶our tokens on your playmat or when you start swapping out tokens for dice, you know you're in a good place.

Zinnia, Valley's Voice can make that happen for you by giving all your creature spelꦿls offspring, a sort of kicꦐker-like mechanic that lets you pay two extra mana with each of your creature spells to make a 1/1 token copy of it.

Zinnia's primary ability, to get +X/+0 for each other creature you control with a base power of one is almost forgotten about with this ability, since you can make the most of your enter the battlefield effects and other strong effects to let you duplicate them. Toss in a few token duplication effects and you'll have an army of tokens in no 🍨time.
