Jeskai Striker Precon: Decklist, Value, and Verdict
Everything in the Jeskai Striker Commander deck: all 100 cards with current prices, what the deck is worth against the sealed price, the 10 new cards, and whether it is worth buying.
Shiko and Narset, Unified
Flying, vigilance Flurry — Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, copy that spell if it targets a permanent or player, and you may choose new targets for the copy. If you don't copy a spell this way, draw a card.
Is Jeskai Striker worth buying?
I’m not going to be too harsh on any of these decks, since they’ll appeal to whomever just likes these respective color combinations. That said, Jeskai Striker falls a bit flat. Between a confused multi-directional strategy and little reprint value overall, it’s not the deck I’d opt for if I could only buy one. The theming can be adjusted, and there are some powerful new cards here, so it’s not exactly a dud either. If you’re a Jeskai fan pick it up, but if you’re not, I doubt this will convert you.
How Jeskai Striker plays
Jeskai Striker is a spellslinger deck, though a confused one. Spellslinger strategies usually take different forms, with some leaning on tokens, others trying to pile on as many spells as possible in one turn, and still others going for big ritual combo turns. This deck seems to be trying to do all of the above out of the box. The individual card quality is good enough, but it’s just a fixer-upper in terms of consistency and deck theme.
Shiko and Narset, Unified leads the deck, showing off the new flurry mechanic from the main set. Double-spelling is trivially easy, so you should trigger it basically every turn, and you’re at least drawing cards even if you’re not copying spells. Elsha, Threefold Master takes the deck in a different direction, focusing more on a Voltron build that pays you off with a board full of creature tokens. It’s the trickier commander of the two, but they both seem good enough for different builds.

This upgrade primarily focuses on improving the mediocre card quality. Most of my swaps remove bad spellslinger payoffs and weak spells for strong interaction and far better payoffs.
