How this commander wants to play

Renet, Temporal Apprentice is a flash-based tempo bounce engine that punishes opponents for playing threats on the same turn. Your game plan revolves around holding up mana, letting opponents commit permanents to the board, then flashing Renet in to reset their gameplan while leaving behind a 4/3 flyer. This is especially brutal against creature-heavy strategies and decks that rely on early momentum.

You'll want to fill your deck with interactive blue spells, card draw, and ways to protect Renet while she works. The core gameplan is forcing opponents into poor resource decisions—they either play conservatively (letting you tempo out), or they over-commit and eat a bounce effect. You win by grinding out value with bounce effects, controlling the board, and eventually winning through evasive damage or forcing opponents into concession through relentless tempo. Think of it as a draw-go control shell with a creature-based twist.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip expensive dual lands; use basic Islands and budget staples like Vapor Snag (bounce effects) and Counterspell alternatives such as Mana Leak and Spell Pierce instead of Force of Will.
