Moonstone, Harsh Mistress

Moonstone, Harsh Mistress turns your discard pile into a second hand. Every time you discard—whether through wheel effects, connector payoffs, or just filling your graveyard—you get to exile that card and cast it later, effectively giving you a spell twice. The core gameplan is to load your deck with discard outlets and cantrips, then chain together cheap spells that generate value while filling your hand and graveyard simultaneously. You're essentially playing a grindy, tempo-positive midrange deck where card advantage comes from turning the graveyard into a pseudo-hand.

Your main threats are tempo creatures, draw engines, and the commander herself—a flying body that pressures opponents while her ability ticks over. You win through a mix of commander damage, card advantage leading to better threats, and occasional combo lines with cards that trigger multiple times (like Hex Magic, which discards your whole hand then lets you play everything next turn). The deck rewards tight sequencing and understanding when to discard, making it engaging without being oppressively complicated.
