Farideh, Devil's Chosen

Gameplan

Farideh is a dice-matters commander who turns rolls into card advantage and evasive damage. You stack d20 rollers and roll-payoffs, drawing cards whenever you hit 10+ and beating face with a flying/menace commander. Aim to chain rolls each turn for steady value while Farideh chips in for damage.

Key Cards

• Pixie Guide — Advantage on every roll dramatically raises your odds of hitting 10+ for Farideh's draw.
• Barbarian Class — Lets you reroll low results and grants double-dice, smoothing variance and chaining draws.
• Delina, Wild Mage — Rolls a d20 to copy creatures, both fueling Farideh and generating board presence.
• The Deck of Many Things — A repeatable roll engine that triggers Farideh while providing powerful random effects.
• Wand of Wonder — Cheap, repeatable d100 roller that reliably draws cards and throws random spells.
• Vexing Puzzlebox — Rolls a d6 every turn for free, guaranteeing recurring Farideh triggers and ramp.

Upgrade Path

Prioritize advantage/reroll effects like Pixie Guide, Barbarian Class, and Reckless Endangerment to convert more rolls into draws, then add cheap repeatable rollers (Vexing Puzzlebox, Wand of Wonder) for consistency. Tighten the mana base with fast lands and Izzet rituals, and add protection like Lightning Greaves and Heroic Intervention so Farideh survives to attack. For a higher ceiling, lean into a spellslinger combo finish with Thousand-Year Storm or Aetherflux Reservoir.
