About Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge

Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge, Legendary creature — vampire wizard, designed by Cynthia Sheppard first released in Nov, 2013 in the set Commander 2013 Oversized and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 26.80.

A deck that focuses on casting a high number of instant and sorcery spells would benefit from including Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge, as it provides additional value by allowing you to cast spells for free from the exiled cards. However, there are better options for similar effects, such as Mizzix of the Izmagnus, which can reduce the cost of your spells over time, making them more efficient in the long run. Whether Jeleva should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, as well as personal preference for its unique abilities.

Rules

02/01/14

If Jeleva enters the battlefield without being cast, then no mana was spent to cast it. This means X will be 0, so no cards will be exiled.

02/01/14

The amount of mana you spent to cast this creature is usually equal to its converted mana cost. However, you also include any additional costs you pay, including the cost imposed for casting your commander from the command zone.

10/17/13

If Jeleva leaves the battlefield, the exiled cards will remain exiled indefinitely. If Jeleva enters the battlefield again, it won’t be associated with the cards the “other” Jeleva exiled. The new Jeleva will exile a new set of cards. Only those cards can be cast using Jeleva’s last ability.

When casting an instant or sorcery card this way, ignore all timing restrictions based on the card’s type. Other timing restrictions, such as “Cast [this spell] only during combat,” must be followed.
