Jeskai Striker upgrade guide
Budget upgrades, cuts and the full decklist for Shiko and Narset, Unified.
Jeskai Striker is a Jeskai (white-blue-red) Commander precon from Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander (2025), led by Shiko and Narset, Unified. Out of the box it runs 37 lands, 13 ramp pieces, 21 card-draw effects, 11 removal spells and 3 board wipes, with an average mana value of 3.13.
It already covers the Commander basics, so the best upgrades focus on synergy and a faster mana base (8 lands enter tapped). Its game plan leans on spellslinger and tokens, so the plan below favors cards that push that. The $50 plan below makes 10 swaps for $26.19.
