You may pay rather than pay the mana cost for spells you cast.
Jodah lets you cast any spell for regardless of its actual mana cost, so the deck loads up on absurdly expensive bombs and casts them way ahead of schedule. You ramp into all five colors, drop Jodah on turn four, then start chaining 8+ mana value haymakers, planeswalkers, and game-enders. The plan is to overwhelm the table with raw card quality once your five-color fixing is online.
Casts the most expensive bombs in the format for a fixed five-mana cost
Five-color identity means access to the entire best-of-the-best card pool
Evasive flier that pressures life totals and chips in for commander damage
Excellent value engine when paired with cost-reduced X spells and high-MV finishers
Heavily reliant on the commander — without Jodah out, your expensive bombs are stuck in hand
Demanding five-color mana base needs strong fixing or you stumble early
No built-in protection; cheap removal on Jodah neutralizes the whole strategy
Slow against fast combo and aggressive decks if your ramp is disrupted
