How Jo Grant decks play in EDH
Jo Grant is a mono-white commander costing 2W, and its legendary creature - human soldier line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. It draws extra cards, so the deck can afford a lower curve and lean on volume. The cards below are the ones Jo Grant decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
