How this commander wants to play

Leori, Sparktouched Hunter is a versatile tempo creature that rewards you for connecting in combat while enabling powerful planeswalker synergies. Your core gameplan is to get Leori through unblocked (thanks to flying and vigilance), then leverage her triggered ability to amplify your planeswalker activations. Once she's dealt damage, you can pick a planeswalker type and suddenly every ability of that type gets duplicated, multiplying loyalty abilities into game-winning effects.

You'll build around a mix of cheap evasion and cantrips to protect Leori while pressuring opponents, then populate your deck with planeswalkers—especially ones with repeatable, high-impact abilities. Cards like Teferi planeswalkers (draw + untap effects, copied twice), Narset (draw/loot abilities), and damage-focused walkers like Chandra or Ral create explosive turns. Combine this with cheap cantrips and ways to make Leori unblockable, and you're dealing chip damage that fuels a steady stream of duplicated planeswalker abilities.

The deck wins through a combination of card advantage (copied draw effects), incremental damage (copied burn abilities), and inevitability (copied proliferate and loyalty generation). It's not a fast combo deck, but rather a mid-game value engine that compounds as the game goes on.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive planeswalkers like Teferi, Time Raveler—use budget Narset Transcendent, Chandra Torch of Defiance, or Ral Zarek instead. Cantrips like Consider and Unholy Heat replace pricey interaction.
