Eris, Roar of the Storm

Eris is a high-impact spell-slinger commander that rewards you for filling your graveyard with instants and sorceries of different mana values. Once you cast her (often much cheaper than ten mana thanks to her cost reduction), she becomes a flying threat with prowess that generates a 4/4 Dragon token every time you cast your second spell in a turn. This means that if you're casting two spells consistently, you're creating tokens while growing Eris and your other creatures through prowess triggers.

Your gameplan revolves around a spell-heavy build with diverse mana costs in your instant and sorcery suite. You want to fill your graveyard early with cantrips, interaction, and threats, then leverage those different mana values to cast Eris ahead of schedule. Once she's out, you're doubling down on casting multiple spells per turn to generate tokens and value. Card draw spells like Opt, Consider, and Murktide help you dig while loading your graveyard; cheap red and blue interaction keeps threats at bay while fueling Eris's discount.

You win through a combination of commander damage, flying token swarm, and pressure from repeated tokens. The tokens stack up quickly, and with prowess triggers on the board, your creatures grow faster. This is a tempo-focused strategy that punishes opponents for not dealing with your threats immediately—ignore the tokens and Eris herself will ping you, ignore Eris and get run over by flying creatures.
