Johan
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may have Johan gain "Johan can't attack" until end of combat. If you do, attacking doesn't cause creatures you control to tap this combat if Johan is untapped.
How Johan decks play in EDH
Johan is a Naya commander in white, red and green costing 3RGW, and its legendary creature - human wizard line shapes the whole deck around it. Its ability is narrow enough that the deck is usually built to protect it and repeat the effect, rather than to go wide. The cards below are the ones Johan decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.

Start with JohanJohan deck questions
What colours can I use in a Johan deck?
Johan has a Naya colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white, red and green or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.
What are the best cards for Johan?
The cards played most often in Johan decks include Desert Were-Worm, Hexhaven Invigorator, Ordinary Bear. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.
How much does a Johan deck cost?
The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $39.72 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.
Can I build a Johan deck from cards I already own?
Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
