Living Laser
Legendary Creature — Elemental Villain
Haste Whenever Living Laser attacks, for each card you've discarded this turn, create a token that's a copy of Living Laser, except the token isn't legendary. The tokens enter tapped and attacking. Exile the tokens at the beginning of the next end step.

Strategy
Living Laser is a red aggro engine that turns card discards into a token army. Your game plan is straightforward: discard cards to fuel token copies of Living Laser, then attack with a growing force of haste creatures that exile themselves at end of step. This commander rewards you for running discard outlets and effects that make you pitch cards—every card you bin becomes a 4/4 haste body attacking your opponents.
You'll build a deck packed with red discard effects like Faithless Looting, Wreck and Ruin, and cards that naturally discard like madness spells and cycle lands. The goal is to generate explosive turns where you attack with Living Laser plus multiple tokens, dealing 8+ damage in the air. Since tokens exile at end of step, your win condition is straightforward combat damage—pile it on before they're gone. With enough discard outlets and efficient threats, you can easily kill table within a few turns.
