You’re not dreaming. A seven-mana commander that requires four different colors of mana has put up a solid argument to be considered one of the best new cEDH cards from 2023.

Did you realize that Jeweled Lotus needs to tap in order to activate its ability? Making it enter tapped is a huge tempo loss for commanders that want to get out early and start doing powerful things right away.

We’ll definitely want to be prepared to do a bit of bookkeeping with all of the different triggers that will be going off, but it’s worth it when we’re practically drowning in mana, card advantage, and +1/+1 counters.
