How this commander wants to play

Cait Sith, Fortune Teller turns your library into a weapon by combining card advantage with combat damage. Every combat, you scry to smooth your draws, then exile and play a card while pumping a creature based on that card's mana cost. This creates a natural tension: you want high-mana-value cards to maximize the pump, but you also want to actually cast them. The deck wins by swinging with a growing army of creatures, ideally making your commander or other threats massive with repeated combats.

Build around cards that reward you for playing cards from exile or having high mana values, plus effects that give you extra combat steps. The scry engine naturally fills your hand and keeps you ahead on resources. Include creature token generators and sacrifice outlets to create more targets for the pump effect, turning lucky top-deck moments into game-ending damage. Red's strength here is rituals and extra combat mechanics, letting you maximize Cait Sith's ability triggers.
