Iroh, Grand Lotus

Iroh, Grand Lotus is all about turning your graveyard into a second hand by repeatedly casting spells from it via flashback. You'll stock your graveyard early with cheap instants and sorceries, then use Iroh's ability to cast them over and over for their original mana costs. The Lesson subtype matters too—those can be flashed back for just {1}, making them incredible value engines. Your main game plan is grinding out incremental advantage until you've generated enough mana and card advantage to close out with combat damage or a lethal spell sequence.

Build around self-mill and discard outlets to fill your graveyard quickly, then pack your deck with cheap cantrips, removal, and card draw. Lessons are especially juicy since they're often efficient utility that costs little to cast multiple times. You want a good mix of ramp, interaction, and card selection so you're always finding your best spells to flashback. With Iroh's 5/5 body and firebending, you can also deal chip damage that adds up when you're casting spells every turn.

The deck wins through a combination of chip damage from the commander and whittling opponents down with repeated spell casts. Once you're generating enough mana and value, a big turn of casting multiple flashback spells into a finisher spell (like a massive burn spell or overloaded counterspell) seals the deal.
