mtg zaffai commander deck Magic: The Gathering Strixhaven – Prismari Performance (Blue-Red) : Toys & Games Zaffai, Thunder Conductor (Display Commander)

Blue has iconic cantrips like Ponder and Brainstorm and powerful draw spells like Fact or Fiction and Compulsive Research

Temporal Mastery I have tried once before and on both occasions it has been very much like Time Walk, while less convenient to cast it is only slightly so in a dedicated deck such as this

Also note lifelink to gain plus perma-boosts and first strike to smash first and make blocking rough

The most played lifegain Commander is Leisa, Shroud of Dusk, which is very different from Greven, or others like Esper Oloro
