Strategy
Saheeli, the Sun's Brilliance is a miniature token factory that turns your best creatures and artifacts into temporary copies with haste. Every activation gives you a hasty duplicate that deals damage the same turn, then vanishes—perfect for hitting multiple triggers or doubling up on powerful enters-the-battlefield effects. The deck wants to load up on ETB creatures (like Mulldrifter or Karmic Guide) and artifact synergies so each copy generates value before it sacrifices itself.
Your gameplan is straightforward: ramp into Saheeli or strong creatures, then use her ability to multiply your board's impact. Each activation is essentially a hasty copy that triggers your ETBs twice in one cycle. You're not trying to go infinite (though the deck can support it); instead, you're grinding value and applying pressure until your tokens and ETB loops overwhelm opponents. Combine this with sacrifice outlets or token payoffs, and you'll turn a 2-mana commander into a persistent value engine.

Budget Build
Use free-to-cheap ETB creatures like Mulldrifter, Crafty Cutthroat, and Solemnity instead of pricey lords; swap Doubling Season for Parallel Lives or even just lean into sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer.
