Format: Commander

Commander: Iroh, Grand Lotus

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Temur spellslinger/storm deck built around Iroh, Grand Lotus's flashback engine: during your turn, every instant and sorcery in your graveyard gains flashback, turning the deck's cheap cantrips, rituals, and payoffs into two-use resources. The game plan is to fill the graveyard early with Opt, Consider, Frantic Search, Riddles in the Dark, and Brass's Tunnel-Grinder, deploy Iroh, then chain spells from hand and graveyard to generate mana (Storm-Kiln Artist Treasures, Seething Song), cards (Song of Creation, Niv-Mizzet, Parun), and storm count. Wins come from a stormed Grapeshot, Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame/Electroduplicate creating infinite hasty attackers, or Niv-Mizzet, Parun with a Curiosity aura for an infinite ping loop. The commander is a value engine rather than a combo piece - all the kill lines live in the 99 - and the low 2.30 average mana value keeps the chain running.
