The Commander
Double strike
Whenever Jenny deals combat damage to a player, it explores. (Reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.)
Guide
Gameplan
Jenny is a Boros Voltron beater that snowballs through combat: double strike means she explores twice per hit, ramping counters and digging through your deck. Suit her up with equipment, auras, and protection, swing in early, and the explore triggers grow her into a one- or two-shot kill while smoothing your draws. You win by connecting repeatedly with an unkillable, ever-larger threat.
Strengths
- Double strike doubles every explore trigger, generating two counters or card-advantage events per combat
- Self-buffing commander that scales without heavy investment, reducing reliance on fragile aura stacks
- Built-in card filtering keeps your hand stocked with gas and lands
- Boros has elite equipment, extra-combat, and protection support to weaponize her quickly
- Cheap four-mana body that can close games fast with even modest pumps
Weaknesses
- Classic Voltron fragility: spot removal, bounce, and board wipes set you back hard
- Boros lacks card draw and ramp outside combat triggers, so stumbles hurt
- Vulnerable to fogs, deathtouch blockers, and damage-prevention effects
- Commander tax stacks up after repeated removal
- Limited interaction in RW makes it weak to dedicated combo or stax decks
Key Cards
- Swiftfoot Boots — Hexproof and haste protect Jenny and let her attack the turn she lands.
- Lightning Greaves — Shroud plus haste makes her immediately swing and removal-proof.
- Embercleave — With double strike it deals massive damage and is cheap to cast after attackers, enabling one-shots.
- Sword of Fire and Ice — Protection, card draw, and damage that all double with double strike.
- Aggravated Assault — Extra combat steps mean more explore triggers and more lethal swings.
- Duelist's Heritage — Granting extra double strike multiplies explore triggers and damage output.
- Sigarda's Aid — Flash equipment onto Jenny at instant speed to dodge removal and reattach after wipes.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet) and cheap protection (Swiftfoot Boots, Robe of the Archmagi, Apostle's Blessing) to make Jenny stick and connect early. Tighten the equipment package toward damage-multiplying swords and Embercleave, and add extra-combat enablers like Aggravated Assault plus Bruse Tarl-style double strike granters. Round out with efficient removal (Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile) and a few protective answers to survive interaction in higher-power pods.
