How this commander wants to play

Mazzy, Truesword Paladin is a unique aura-focused commander that rewards you for both enchanting creatures and cycling auras through your graveyard. Your core gameplan is to attach auras—especially cheap ones—to creatures (your own or opponents'), then leverage Mazzy's second ability to recoup value when those auras hit the bin. This turns aura removal and temporary effects into card advantage instead of tempo loss.

You'll build around a mix of aggressive auras that pump your creatures or debilitate opponents' threats, alongside utility enchantments that generate value. Cards like Hyena Umbra, Ledger Shredder, and Presence of the Master create a virtuous cycle: cast cheap auras, attack hard with the boost, watch them get removed or re-target, then flash them back for free. The deck naturally leans toward going wide with tokens or building a few evasive threats, then protecting them with defensive auras while going for combat damage.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Start with budget auras like Ethereal Armor, Cartouche of Solidarity, and Hyena Umbra instead of pricey options; use signets and ramp spells rather than dual lands.
