## Codie, Vociferous Codex (Commander)

<BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-PSTX-253p" title="Codie, Vociferous Codex" /> is a war criminal and should be tried for its many crimes, if you build the deck around it correctly that is. This WUBRG monstrosity might not initially seem like a threat (it does prevent you from being able to cast permanents after all) but by the time your opponents realize how insidious Codie truly is, it will already be too late.

At the low low price of losing your ability to cast permanent spells, Codie taps to filter 4 generic mana for WUBRG and essentially gives your next instant or sorcery spell cascade. Being a 5 color commander, Codie allows you to run the most heinous instants and sorceries in all of magic. If you want your friends to play with you again, I would recommend shying away from mass land destruction and extra turn spells, however, those could still be acceptable depending on what your pod is ok with and what bracket you aim to build this deck. I personally like brackets 2 and 3.

The simplest way to build around Codie is to have the lower end of your curve involve a lot of ramp, draw, and some removal. There are a plethora of 2, 3, & 4 mana green instants and sorceries that tutor lands to the battlefield. There are also a plethora of removal staples that you can easily cascade into. As far as board wipes go, I would recommend ones that allow you to keep Codie alive like <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-DMC-148" title="Duneblast" />, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-IKO-24" title="Mythos of Snapdax" />, and <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-TDC-115" title="Expel the Interlopers" />. If you want to run snow lands, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-KHM-82" title="Blood on the Snow" /> works as well.

For the low to midrange parts of your curve, any draw spells that create treasures are helpful to ramp into the bigger spells. They also help a lot with mana fixing. Any spells like <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-DSC-113" title="Brainstorm" /> that let you put cards from your hand on top of your library are also super handy for choosing what you want to cascade into.

The top end of any Codie deck should be some of the highest cmc spells in magic. Although the ultimatums often don't work well with just WUBRG, if the deck ramps enough, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I personally like putting in my favorites of those like <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-PIP-220" title="Ruinous Ultimatum" /> and <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-PIKO-185p" title="Emergent Ultimatum" />. <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-NCC-215" title="Clone Legion" />, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-MB2-52" title="Worst Fears" />, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-J25-399" title="Army of the Damned" />, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-TDM-196" title="Jeskai Revelation" />, <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-RVR-241" title="Revival // Revenge" />, and <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-PLCI-153p" title="Hit the Mother Lode" /> are all solid top end additions too.

If you have any suggestions for cards that work well with Codie, mention them in the [comments](#comments-section) below! 

P. S. Use <BlogCardLink cardId="MTG-MUL-65" title="Zirda, the Dawnwaker" /> as the companion…cause Zirda works pefectly.
