If she casts a card that her effect exiled, does the card stay exiled or does it go to the graveyard? If it stays exiled, can she keep casting it as long as she stays on the battlefield?

I understand that the deck shes in doesn't support her as well as it could, but having played here in my local group, shes done pretty well. I guess that could be attributed to the fact that most of them are combo players and have some tasty spells to steal.

Does her ability proc when cloned? such as Rite of Replication, or does the token aspect dictate she has no mana cost.

okay, does this work with insurrection? and i don't mean, "can i cast it with her?', that part is obvious, but can i cast it and attack with all the creatures i just stole? like Spinal Embrace "only during combat". that's what confuses me.

Well, looks like Oona, Queen of the Fae will lost her general status in my milling commander.

@boochaca: No, you can't, since you've already declared your attackers to trigger her ability. Since attackers are declared simultaneously, you can't add any more; after they are chosen, then she is declared to actually BE attacking, and her ability triggers.
But, if you added ANOTHER battle phase... >_<
@PlanesMoyza: Oona may not stay the General... but I sure hope she stays in the deck! Jeleva and Oona make for good milling friends, with great extra effects.
Jeleva combo in non-commander: Fist of Suns to increase her cost... May seem counter-intuitive, but hey, if you want more (especially with more players), there's a way.

I don't exactly see why did this have to include "X". I don't see a kicker cost on her, so can you ever spend more than 4 mana casting her?

@Arachnos: Commander rules. Whenever you cast your commander from the command zone, it costs a cumulative 
to cast for each time you cast it from there.
Anyway, I like how this is the one commander that you don't mind losing to removal. If you end up exiling everyone's topdecks, you can disrupt their plays and potentially turn their own cards against them. Take note that in casting those spells, they end up in the graveyard, so running Flashback support will also help get mileage. (Of course, if Jeleva's killed before you can cast them, the cards are gone forever)

A pose to match the flavour: she hits the board and everybody is upset by the potential to get hit with their own cards,
And then her pose says "look at all the f*cks I give"
5/5 for flavour :)

Weirdly, I'd call her the best AoE milling general. She doesn't need to be played in strict mill, but she supports it.
Circu, Dimir Lobotomist is not bad, but he supports standard 60 card decks rather than EDH with his second "can't play exiled cards" ability. Also, playing a spell to exile possibly 2 cards from one library is... well, it's not bad, but it can take a while.
Szadek was interesting since you could mill for large amounts and improve how much you do next time. The problem is that milling 5 or 10 in a 100-card format because you dealt damage to them with a 7-cost creature is... well, maybe not the most cost-effective means of doing so... especially when against more than 1 opponent.
Ambassador Laquatus is fine, but isn't commander quality. You're missing 
, and there are a lot of mill spells that are 
or support . He is rigged with Training Grounds, though.
Geth, Lord... (see all)
