The Commander
This spell costs 
less to cast for each creature in your party.
: Look at the top six cards of your library. You may reveal up to two Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, Wizard, and/or Ally cards from among them and put them into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Guide
Gameplan
Assemble a full party (Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, Wizard) to slash Tazri's cost, then use her hybrid-mana activated ability as a repeatable engine to dig for class creatures and Allies, snowballing into a wide, synergistic board. You win by going tall with Ally/party payoffs and overwhelming opponents with creature value or combo lines that five colors enable.
Strengths
- Access to all five colors means best-in-class removal, ramp, tutors, and combo pieces
- Built-in card advantage engine that needs no other cards to function
- Party tribal and Ally synergies create explosive board states
- Hybrid Phyrexian-style
costs let you activate her even when colors are tight
Weaknesses
- Activated ability is mana-hungry and slow without ramp or cost reducers
- Heavily creature-dependent, so wraths and targeted removal hit hard
- Needs a real party to be efficiently cast; otherwise she's a clunky 5-drop
- Five-color manabase is expensive to build well and prone to color screw
Key Cards
- Tazri, Beacon of Unity — Your engine and party payoff—cost reduction and card draw revolve around filling out class types.
- General Tazri — Tutors any Ally on cast and ties the Ally subtheme together as a backup commander-quality piece.
- Coppercoat Vanguard — Anthem-style Ally lord that protects and pumps your tribal board.
- Tana, the Bloodsower — Cheap Warrior that fills party and snowballs tokens for go-wide pressure.
- Esper Sentinel — Wizard that fills party while taxing opponents and refilling your hand.
- Smothering Tithe — Five-color ramp staple to fuel Tazri's expensive activated ability.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and cost reducers (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Smothering Tithe, Goreclaw-style discounts) so Tazri lands early and her ability fires repeatedly. Tighten the manabase with shocks, fetches, Triomes, and Command Tower, and lean into a focused payoff—either Ally rally combos or party-matters lords—rather than diffuse goodstuff. Finally, slot protection like Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to insulate your creature-centric board from wraths.
