<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jet, Freedom Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Jet, Freedom Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://mangamie.artstation.com/?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnEBOZRtc8MrvHtOVNaXYBqsRm5GI2tWwRrcCpmv18V-FlI0_UagNW4lwOpME_aem_ZavZedBnZkTz7347MUVIqQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fahmi Fauzi</a></em></p>
<p>To fight off the Fire Nation that was occupying an Earth Kingdom village, Jet banded together a group known as the Freedom Fighters. When <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jet, Freedom Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Jet, Freedom Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, enters the scene, his goal is to swiftly take out his enemies with his companions by his side. And when he unfortunately met his end, his efforts bolstered his comrades' strength.</p>
<p>At first glance, there isn't much to look at with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jet, Freedom Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Jet, Freedom Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Five-mana spot removal isn't all that appealing in the command zone, and there are better ways to give +1/+1 counters to our creatures, but having an ETB and a dies trigger on a commander got me thinking: What if we cloned Jet?</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Jet, Freedom Fighter"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jet, Freedom Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Jet, Freedom Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will be our way to remove problematic creatures that will prevent us from accomplishing our goals. And if we use clone effects to copy Jet, we can reuse his ability to keep troublesome creatures off the board. Here, the legend rule will work in our favor since Jet has a dies trigger which will put +1/+1 counters onto our creatures.</p>
<p>While we're not focusing heavily on counters for this deck, I have included some synergies that will be great for this deck.</p>
<hr />
<h2>The Gaang</h2>
<h3>Clones</h3>
<p>The main engine of this deck is our clone makers. These will be the way we copy Jet over and over to remove creatures while also buffing up our own - and it's a way to trigger our Allies each turn.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Jolly Balloon Man"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mirror-Style Master"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Echoing Assault"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Jolly Balloon Man" href="#" target="_blank">The Jolly Balloon Man</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can clone Jet for the low cost of one generic mana, and he has haste, so we can clone Jet on the turn we play the Clown. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Echoing Assault" href="#" target="_blank">Echoing Assault</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> lets us clone a creature for each player we attack. And while they're only 1/1s, getting to have ways to make multiple Allies a turn makes creatures like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kor Entanglers" href="#" target="_blank">Kor Entanglers</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> a huge strength.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mirror-Style Master" href="#" target="_blank">Mirror-Style Master</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> could end games the turn it comes down through that backup ability. With ways to give each of our creatures counters, we can essentially clone our whole board. And with all the Allies entering, we'll have to resolve a ton of triggers that could lead to our opponents' demise.</p>
<p>When I started brewing Jet, I didn't initially think to build an Ally deck. But with the support that <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/tla" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Avatar: The Last Airbender</em></a> gave Ally decks, I was curious. How strong are Allies?</p>
<h3>Ally Synergies</h3>
<p>Allies work together to accomplish their goals, so mechanically, they care when other Allies enter the battlefield. Since we'll be copying Jet, we can easy trigger our Allies each turn for maximum valve.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="South Pole Voyager"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Munda, Ambush Leader"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Master Piandao"></div></div>
<p>Anytime we have an Ally enter for the second time, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="South Pole Voyager" href="#" target="_blank">South Pole Voyager</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will draw us a card. This being a consistent source of card draw in a deck built around cloning Allies will be needed for an aggro-style Boros (<span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-r" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>) deck.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Munda, Ambush Leader" href="#" target="_blank">Munda, Ambush Leader</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will help stack the top of library with Ally cards. And copying him will start to act like a mini tutor effect that will help us dig through our library for powerful Ally creatures. This synergizes nicely with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hakoda, Selfless Commander" href="#" target="_blank">Hakoda, Selfless Commander</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> which lets us cast Allies from the top of our library.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Master Piandao" href="#" target="_blank">Master Piandao</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> serves as an excellent card advantage engine for our deck. A 4/4 with first strike is a great stat line, allowing us to easily attack with him each turn and get an Ally from the top of our deck.</p>
<h3>Protecting Our Allies</h3>
<p>Once you get into it, there are so many cool Ally synergies that we can pack into this deck.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kabira Evangel"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Hero of Goma Fada"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Appa, Steadfast Guardian"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kabira Evangel" href="#" target="_blank">Kabira Evangel</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> gives our Allies protection from any color of our choice. And when we clone it or have multiple Allies enter, we could easily give our entire board protection from every color. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hero of Goma Fada" href="#" target="_blank">Hero of Goma Fada</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can also protect our board by granting our creatures indestructible every turn. This gives us to freedom to swing in without fear of losing Allies to unfavorable blocks.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Appa, Steadfast Guardian" href="#" target="_blank">Appa, Steadfast Guardian</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes down at flash speed to Airbend away our nonland permanents. This is an excellent form of protection from any board wipes that come our way. Not only that, but whenever we do cast from exile, we create even more Allies to add to our rebellion.</p>
<p>I'm a big fan of this style of protection that continues to provide value after its initial cast.</p>
<h3>+1/+1 Counters</h3>
<p>Jet won't be the only Ally granting +1/+1 Counters in this deck.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Munda&#039;s Vanguard"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kazuul Warlord"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Metallic Mimic"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Munda&#039;s Vanguard" href="#" target="_blank">Munda&#039;s Vanguard</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can tap an untapped Ally to add counters to each of our creatures. This has a neat synergy with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Makindi Patrol" href="#" target="_blank">Makindi Patrol</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, as we can enter combat with our Allies and then tap Munda's Vanguard, before damage, to give our creatures +1/+1 counters.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kazuul Warlord" href="#" target="_blank">Kazuul Warlord</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> also grants counters with each Ally that enters, and if we clone it, we're getting twice the number of counters on all our creatures. And <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Metallic Mimic" href="#" target="_blank">Metallic Mimic</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> grants counters when creatures of the chosen type enter. This is an excellent turn-two play, ensuring that we can buff all our Allies.</p>
<h3>Excess Damage Cards</h3>
<p>Oftentimes, Jet will be able to dish out more than enough damage to remove pesky creatures. So I've included a few ways to make the most of the excess damage dealt.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Toralf, God of Fury"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Magmatic Galleon"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Toralf, God of Fury" href="#" target="_blank">Toralf, God of Fury</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can create a chain of damage among permanents if enough damage is dealt. Toralf could even turn Jet into a semi-board wipe for small creatures with the right setup. This synergy also lets us hit opponents in the face by redirecting Jet's damage to their life totals.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Magmatic Galleon" href="#" target="_blank">Magmatic Galleon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can remove a creature when it enters, but the more important thing here is the ability to generate Treasure tokens whenever a creature is dealt excess damage. Each time we clone or cast Jet, we'll begin to profit from removing our opponents' creatures.</p>
<h3>Powerful Allies</h3>
<p>Among all these Ally creatures, many of them grant keywords to our creatures.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Resolute Blademaster"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Tuktuk Scrapper"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Smellerbee, Rebel Fighter"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Resolute Blademaster" href="#" target="_blank">Resolute Blademaster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is among the strongest, offering double strike to all of our creatures. While we can't double up on keywords, having access to clone effects means we can still trigger these anthem effects without the need to cast more Allies from hand.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tuktuk Scrapper" href="#" target="_blank">Tuktuk Scrapper</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> clears the board of any artifacts and deals damage to our opponents equal to the number of Allies we control. Making copies of Tuktuk Scrapper will surely be a game-ender, especially if an opponent has a lot of artifacts that we can target.</p>
<p>On top of being a flavorful inclusion, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Smellerbee, Rebel Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Smellerbee, Rebel Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a powerful Ally to have on our side. She gives haste to all of our creatures, which will help fuel her second ability to draw cards equal to the number of attacking creatures. Of course, we'd have to discard our hand first, but being in Boros, we'll be running low on cards in hand fairly often. Since this is an all-in aggro deck, discarding a few cards to potentially refuel our hand is huge.</p>
<h2>Win-Cons</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Appa, the Vigilant"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Akki Battle Squad"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="All Will Be One"></div></div>
<p>This deck is full of win-cons. Giving our creatures evasive abilities will often be how we end games. So Allies like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Appa, the Vigilant" href="#" target="_blank">Appa, the Vigilant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> do a great job of allowing our Allies to get through any ground blockers while also buffing up our team. And if we copy Appa with a clone effect like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Delina, Wild Mage" href="#" target="_blank">Delina, Wild Mage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, nothing will be able to stop our army of flying Bison.</p>
<p>And with all the ways that we can buff Allies and give them evasive abilities, having a powerful extra combat spell like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Akki Battle Squad" href="#" target="_blank">Akki Battle Squad</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can be an absolute nightmare for our opponents. Of the few counter synergies we do have in this deck, this is surely among the strongest.</p>
<p>Finally, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="All Will Be One" href="#" target="_blank">All Will Be One</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will turn all the counters we give to our Allies into damage that we can use to burn our opponents' life totals. This in combination with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kazuul Warlord" href="#" target="_blank">Kazuul Warlord</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, is nothing short of a surefire victory.</p>

<h2>Goodbye, Jet</h2>
<p>At the time of writing, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Jet, Freedom Fighter" href="#" target="_blank">Jet, Freedom Fighter</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> only has 30 decks to his name. Which is understandable, since he's a bit underwhelming on his own and he's competing with the likes of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fire Lord Azula" href="#" target="_blank">Fire Lord Azula</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Toph, the First Metalbender" href="#" target="_blank">Toph, the First Metalbender</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. But while I was first brewing Jet, I didn't know how absorbed I'd be into building an Ally-typal deck. What I thought would be a challenge to make this deck function turned out to be very synergistic.</p>
<p>Which commanders from <em>Avatar: The Last Airbender </em>have you been the most excited for? Let me know in the comments below and I'll see you next time!</p>
