First draft of a fun partner combo deck. This is a fairly rough draft simply due to my limited card pool (this deck is IRL and my 11'th physically constructed rakdos colored edh deck).
TLDR - infinite red mana + Jeksa = win, since we can keep casting her and burning out the opponents with her negative ability. Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar is being used to give Jeska "deathtouch" so she can be used as early cheap creature removal, but also mostly due to the adorable cat factor.
Fun backup combos;
1 - Necrotic Ooze w/ Kiki + Mogg Fanatic in the yard (one of my absolute favorite combos ever!)
2 & 3 - Kiki + Combat Celebrant or Zealous Conscripts
4 - Jeska + Falthis, target Falthis w/ 3x damage and if unblocked bloodrush Wrecking Ogre for 30 points of commander damage. Considering alternate cards like Screaming Fury or Scorchwalker for similar results
There are a few large beaters to take advantage of Jeska's triple damage bonus, so the deck is mostly combo with a smidgen of attacking.
Anyways - first stab at a deck with Jeska. It likely needs a bit of work, so as I explore it over spelltable/zoom over the next few weeks I'll make changes.
As always any feedback and suggestions are welcome!

The deck has multiple combos that have some similar/synergistic cards to other combos, so there are many options and lines to victory.
Fun combos that make infinite red mana (thus winning with Jeska);
1 - Necrotic Ooze w/ Palladium Myr + Pili-Pala in yard
2 & 3 - Necrotic Ooze w/ Kiki + Thermopod or Catalyst Elemental in yard
4 - Worldgorger + Dance of the Dead/Animate Dead/Necromancy (backup wincons other than jeska include Stensia Bloodhall/Piranha Marsh/Shivan Gorge/Flayer of the Hatebound)
5 - Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient + Gilded Lotus + Voltaic Key
6 - Mana Geyser + Reiterate (requires 11 mana to start combo & opponents with 7+ tapped lands)
7 & 8 - Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + Gemstone Array or Chromatic Orrery (infinite colorless w/o the array/Orrery)
Fun backup combos;
1 - Necrotic Ooze w/ Kiki + Mogg Fanatic in the yard (one of my absolute favorite combos ever!)
2 & 3 - Kiki + Combat Celebrant or Zealous Conscripts
4 - Jeska + Falthis, target Falthis w/ 3x damage and if unblocked bloodrush Wrecking Ogre for 30 points of commander damage. Considering alternate cards like Screaming Fury or Scorchwalker for similar results

I'm building a 2nd Jeska deck partnered with Alena, Kessig Trapper that is mostly combat with a smidgen of combo (since Alena can go infinite w/ Umbral Mantle/Sword of the Paruns/Aggravated Assault/Staff of Domination + a sufficiently larger creature etb. This deck is more of a furnace of rath tribal deck, so it's all fairly strait forward and likely doesn't deserve a post unless ppl want to see a list.
Anyways - first stab at a deck with Jeska. It likely needs a bit of work, so as I explore it over spelltable/zoom over the next few weeks I'll make changes.
