Legendary Creature — Human Villain
Flying You don't lose unspent red mana as steps and phases end. Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, add {R}. When Electro leaves the battlefield, you may pay {X}. When you do, he deals X damage to target player.
“Spellslinger that banks mana and goes off with cheap instants and sorceries.”
Electro, Assaulting Battery is a mana-positive spellslinger commander that turns every instant and sorcery into a mini-ramp spell. You're building a deck that casts lots of cheap spells—burn, cantrips, and card draw—to generate explosive mana while chipping away at opponents. The core gameplan is to chain spells together, bank unspent red mana across turns, and either go tall with a huge X-spell finisher or go wide with tokens and burn as you cycle through your deck.
Your deck wants cheap, repeatable effects: one-mana cantrips like Mishra's Bauble, card-draw spells like Expedite, and efficient burn like Bolt and Unholy Heat. Electro's mana accumulation means you'll often have more resources than you know what to do with, so include payoffs that let you dump mana—Goblin Anarchomancer to reduce spell costs, Missile Maw to trigger more effects, or just big X-spells like Fireball and Comet Storm that capitalize on your mana pool. You can also lean into instant-speed interaction to control the table while advancing your game plan.

Skip pricey cantrips like Scalding Tarn; lean on budget alternatives like Unholy Heat, Murktide, and basic one-mana red spells. Comet Storm is cheaper than Expansion // Explosion for your X-spell finisher.
