“Good Times Become Good Memories, But Bad Times Make Good Lessons” by Coomerang

Format: Commander

Commander: Iroh, Grand Lotus

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Temur Lessons deck uses Iroh, Grand Lotus to turn the graveyard into a second hand. You fill the yard with cheap Lessons and instants, then cast Iroh to flash them back for {1} (Lessons) or their mana cost (other spells) for repeated value. Pingers like Guttersnipe, Coruscation Mage and Longshot turn each cast into damage to all opponents, while Rite of the Dragoncaller and Thousand-Year Storm scale into a board of 5/5 Dragons or copied spells. Iroh is the value engine, not a combo piece; the hidden closers are Rite and the pingers that actually end the game.
