Haunted One
Legendary Enchantment — Background
Commander creatures you own have "Whenever this creature becomes tapped, it and other creatures you control that share a creature type with it each get +2/+0 and gain undying until end of turn." (When a creature with undying dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it.)
“Tap your typed creatures for +2/+0 and undying triggers—turn tap into resilience.”

Strategy
Haunted One is a Background that turns your commander into a tap-trigger engine, rewarding you for tapping creatures that share a type with it. Every time your commander taps, it and any creatures sharing its type get a temporary power boost and undying protection, which means they can die and come back with a counter. This creates a defensive layer while pushing damage and enabling sacrifice synergies. The deck wants to find a commander with a relevant creature type—Vampires, Zombies, Elves, or Humans work great—then load up on creatures of that type and tap outlets to trigger the ability repeatedly.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Use budget tap outlets like Mana Echoes, Thousand-Year Elixir, and Cryptolith Rite instead of pricey signets; fill creatures slots with common tribal lords rather than chase chase rares.
