18: Jeskai Cheerios (Elsha) by allaboutduncan

Format: Commander

Commander: Elsha of the Infinite

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Elsha of the Infinite is a Jeskai artifact-storm deck. It floods the board with cheap and free artifacts, uses cost reducers, and lets Elsha cast noncreature spells from the top of the library to chain triggers. Prowess grows Elsha, while Whirlwind of Thought, Top, and cantrip artifacts keep the chain stocked. The primary finisher is Aetherflux Reservoir after a long artifact chain, with Grapeshot as a storm backup. A secondary plan makes Elsha unblockable with Key to the City or Whispersilk Cloak and swings for 21 commander damage. Retract and Paradoxical Outcome recast artifacts for extra triggers and can save the board. The deck is fast but heavily artifact-centered and dependent on Elsha staying on the battlefield.
