How this commander wants to play

Quintorius is an excellent graveyard-to-battlefield engine that turns your discarded spells into reusable resources. Every turn, you're exiling a noncreature card from your graveyard and making a 3/2 Spirit token—essentially filtering your deck while building a board presence. The real magic happens when you tap and sacrifice those Spirits to cast exiled cards for free, letting you flash back your best spells without paying mana. This creates a snowball effect where you're generating value every single turn cycle.

The deck wants to fill your graveyard with high-impact spells: board wipes, card draw, removal, and ramp. Self-mill effects, looting, and intentional discard mechanics fuel the engine. You're not going for a aggressive start—instead, you're playing a grindy midrange game where Quintorius slowly buries opponents under Spirit tokens and free spellcasts. By turns 7–10, you'll have a board of Spirits and access to your best answers, making you nearly impossible to race or outvalue.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive fetches and use basic lands with self-mill cards like Faithless Looting and Cathartic Reunion instead of pricey draw spells; budget Spirits like Monastery Mentor tokens go a long way.
