Jirina Kudro Turns Commander Casts Into Mardu Human Pressure
Thalia's Lieutenant
Jirina rewards players for building Human density before she enters.
Read updateCommander Overview
How This Commander Plays
Jirina Kudro is a Mardu Humans commander from Commander 2020 that turns every commander cast from the command zone into more Human Soldier tokens. The main plan is Human aggro: develop Humans and ramp, build width, cast Jirina, add lords or evasion, protect the board, then blink or recast her when the next token wave matters. Aristocrats and the Mana Echoes combo are real branches, but they should not replace the combat plan unless the deck is built around them.
Core Game Plan
- Develop cheap Humans and mana rocks before Jirina enters.
- Build enough board width that Jirina's +2/+0 anthem changes combat math.
- Cast Jirina after setup, then attack with Human Soldiers and typal payoffs.
- Use lords, Shared Animosity, and evasion to push through stalled boards.
- Protect the board with Flawless Maneuver, Boros Charm, or similar effects.
- Blink Jirina for another current-count token wave or recast her to increase the future count.
- Win through combat first, or through aristocrats drains when tokens die.

Build Paths
Stay creature-dense, cast Jirina into a ready board, and turn Human tokens into lethal combat pressure.
Best default build for players upgrading Ruthless Regiment.Use blink, protection, and ramp to repeat Jirina's entry or increase future command-zone counts.
Stronger when the list can pay commander tax without falling behind.Pair Human tokens with sacrifice outlets, Skullclamp, Species Specialist, and drain payoffs.
Wins through deaths when combat stalls, but needs outlets and payoffs together.Add Mana Echoes and Phyrexian Altar only if the deck wants a verified infinite line.
Powerful but optional; do not make every Jirina list combo-first.Jirina plus Mana Echoes plus Phyrexian Altar is a verified infinite loop when Jirina is your commander, Mana Echoes and Phyrexian Altar are on the battlefield, and you can cast Jirina from the command.
