Jeskai Tempo by YoshikageRamsay

Format: Commander

Commander: Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker and Kraum, Ludevic's Opus

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a Jeskai partner tempo-combo deck built around Kraum's card draw and Ishai's growing evasion. Kraum is the early accelerated threat that replaces itself, while Ishai assembles counters and can become a one-swing commander kill when paired with Jeska, Thrice Reborn or a pump/protection effect. The main finish is a compact two-card or graveyard combo: Underworld Breach with Lion's Eye Diamond and wheels into Brain Freeze/Thassa's Oracle, or Dualcaster Mage with Twinflame/Heat Shimmer to create endless hasty token copies. The deck plays strong stack control and free protection to keep those combos protected. No double-faced commander is present; the closest hidden commander is Jeska in the 99, acting as a backup beatdown engine.
