Overview:

A Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge deck focused on casting powerful instants and sorceries for free, combining spell-copying effects with card draw and control elements to overwhelm opponents with value.

Primer:

This deck operates as a spellslinger strategy that aims to leverage Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge's ability to cast powerful spells for free while controlling the board. The primary gameplan involves casting high-impact spells like Expropriate, Cruel Ultimatum, and Peer into the Abyss through Jeleva's trigger, while using spell-copying effects from cards like Thousand-Year Storm and Fury Storm to multiply their impact.

The secondary strategy involves a wheel/draw damage package with cards like Nekusar, the Mindrazer and Spiteful Visions to pressure opponents' life totals while maintaining card advantage. The deck includes numerous control elements and interaction pieces to protect its strategy while disrupting opponents' gameplans.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on its commander to access its most powerful plays, making it vulnerable to repeated removal. The high curve of many key spells means the deck can struggle if Jeleva is consistently answered. Graveyard hate can shut down several recursive elements, and aggressive strategies can put pressure on the deck before it establishes its engine.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

• Thousand-Year Storm

• Past in Flames

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 5/10
• Resilience: 6/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 8/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits firmly in the focused casual range, with elements that could push it slightly higher. While it contains powerful spells and some efficient interaction, its reliance on the commander and relatively fair win conditions keep it from reaching higher power levels. It's stronger than typical precon decks due to its improved mana base and interaction suite, but lacks the fast mana and consistent early wins of higher-powered decks. The deck would perform well against other 5.0-6.0 decks but would struggle against more optimized strategies.

Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
