Big Mana / Bombs — Jodah's WUBRG cost reduction rewards stuffing the deck with the most expensive spells you can find.
Control — Five colors gives access to every counterspell and removal package while Jodah cheats out finishers.
Spellslinger / Storm — Cost reduction on huge X-spells and draw spells like Enter the Infinite enables explosive turns.
Superfriends — Cast expensive planeswalkers like Nicol Bolas and Ugin for five mana to grind out the table.

Flying

You may pay {W} {U} {B} {R} {G} rather than pay the mana cost for spells you cast.

Jodah lets you cast any spell for {W} {U} {B} {R} {G} 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

Jodah, Archmage Eternal

The entire engine — every fatty in the deck becomes a five-mana spell while he's on the battlefield.

Omniscience

Costs only WUBRG with Jodah, then lets you cast everything else for free for the rest of the game.

Enter the Infinite

A 12-mana draw-your-deck spell that Jodah casts for five, often a direct line to a win.

Smothering Tithe

Generates the heaps of mana and color fixing a five-color deck craves.

Cryptic Command

Costs WUBRG anyway, but represents the flexible interaction this deck needs to protect Jodah and answer threats.

Jeska's Will / Mana ramp rituals

Explosive mana that helps you land Jodah early and cast a second big spell the same turn.

Lean harder into fast mana (Mana Crypt, Jeweled Lotus, signets, rituals) and premium five-color fixing (fetch/dual lands, Prismatic Omen, Chromatic Lantern) so Jodah lands turns 2-3. Add protection like Lightning Greaves, Heroic Intervention, and counterspell backup, then tighten the bomb suite into spells that actually win when cast for WUBRG — Omniscience, Enter the Infinite, Approach of the Second Sun, and Apex Devastator. For maximum power, build toward a deterministic combo finish off Omniscience or Enter the Infinite rather than relying on incremental value.
