#Timeless wisdom commander decklist series

While a large portion of the mana base enters the battlefield tapped, the ability to find your colours shouldn’t be lacking. The mana itself also seems to be of a higher quality. Although it's a very strong list out of the box, I would say that the deck could use a few more cycling focused cards. There are some problematic cards being clunky in their casting costs like Akim, the Soaring Wind or Isperia, Supreme Judge but the deck is generally efficient enough to be able to run these cards as well. In this deck, you generally care more about the cycling costs as you won’t be casting many cards that aren’t payoffs or enablers. The mana curve of this deck is a bit harder to assess than the usual lists that we evaluate. However, this deck seems to be an exception. When the number of cards with this mechanic is this high, there’s usually a lack of payoffs or enablers. While there are the obligatory new cards in the deck, the list remains far more focused than most Commander precons. A total of 31 cards in the deck have cycling, and the remaining cards are primarily enablers or payoffs.

This is likely the most focused and tight list of this year’s decks. We’ll be looking at out of the box power level, synergy, upgradability, and overall card value to judge the deck. With the Sultai and Abzan decks out of the way, we get to continue this cycle of decks with a few more cyclers! The Jeskai deck has a lot of people excited, so let’s take a look at why and if it’s warranted.
