Legendary Creature — Orc Wizard
Haste When Tersa Lightshatter enters, discard up to two cards, then draw that many cards. Whenever Tersa Lightshatter attacks, if there are seven or more cards in your graveyard, exile a card at random from your graveyard. You may play that card this turn.
“Aggressive spell-slinger who draws cards and plays from graveyard.”
Tersa Lightshatter is a tempo-aggressive commander that rewards you for filling your graveyard and attacking early. The deck wants to get Tersa into play quickly, use her enter-the-battlefield trigger to cycle through your deck, and then start swinging for damage while exiling random cards from your graveyard to cast them for free. This creates a snowball effect where you're attacking early, generating card advantage, and playing extra spells each turn.
The core gameplan revolves around cheap red spells, card draw effects, and payoffs for having a full graveyard. You'll play rituals and cantrips to fuel your hand and graveyard simultaneously, then leverage Tersa's attack trigger to turn that graveyard into a second hand. The deck wins through commander damage and combat aggression, often closing out games by turn 6–8 with a flurry of spells and attacks. Every attack with Tersa is like drawing a random card for free, which multiplies your resources and tempo advantage.

Skip expensive rituals like Moxes and Simian Spirit Guide; use Jeska's Will, Runaway Steam-Kin, and Goblin Electromancer as budget-friendly card advantage and ramp.
