Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Tor Wauki the Younger is a damage amplifier with legs. Your gameplan is to load up on instant and sorcery spells—especially ones that deal damage—and watch them snowball into lethal. Every spell triggers Tor for 2 damage, and his passive amplifies all your noncombat damage by +1, turning pings into fireballs and making effects like Chandra planeswalkers or Purphoros exponentially scarier.

You're building a spellslinger deck that leans into burn and aristocratic elements. The lifelink and reach make Tor a respectable blocker while you're setting up your spell engine, and he scales naturally as you fill the deck with cantrips, modal spells, and damage sources. Your win condition is a combination of commander damage, combat chip damage, and pure burn from your spell triggers—often ending the game once you hit 5-7 mana and can chain spells together.
