Strategy
Mai, Jaded Edge is a prowess-focused commander that rewards you for casting noncreature spells while building up a threatening evasive threat. Your core gameplan is to stack cheap instants and sorceries to trigger prowess repeatedly, turning Mai into a lethal attacker while also advancing your board through efficient spells. The exhaust ability lets you double strike Mai once during the game, turning a modest attacker into a massive threat that can close out games fast—especially if you've been boosting her with prowess triggers.
You'll want a shell of cantrips, cheap removal, and card draw spells that all trigger prowess while fueling your spell count. Think cards like Expedite, Crash Through, and Unholy Heat that cost one or two mana and help you chain spells together. Once Mai's been pumped several times and you've activated exhaust, a few more prowess triggers can swing for lethal. The deck plays like a red tempo deck with a commander twist: Mai is your win condition, and everything else is fuel for the engine.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey cantrips like Murktide; lean on commons/uncommons like Crash Through, Unholy Heat, and Misery Wails, then fill gaps with reprints like Young Pyromancer for redundancy.
