The most and best wheel cards are in {U} and {R}, so you need at least one of those colors, and preferably both. Xyris, the Writhing Storm and

Breaking it down, wheeling has four key parts: you discard, you draw, opponents discard, and opponents draw. This is a very simple, slightly curated list of commander options that care about at least one of these.

"Whenever you draw"

• Niv-Mizzet, Parun

• Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

• Queza, Augur of Agonies

• Shabraz, the Skyshark  ^Flip (partners with Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip)

• Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

• The Locust God

• The Watcher in the Water

• Toothy, Imaginary Friend

"Whenever you discard"

• Brallin, Skyshark Rider  ^Flip (partners with Shabraz, the Skyshark  ^Flip)

• Inti, Seneschal of the Sun

• Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

• Rielle, the Everwise

• Toluz, Clever Conductor

"Whenever an opponent draws"

• Leela, Sevateem Warrior (Doctor's companion)

• Nekusar, the Mindrazer

• Xyris, the Writhing Storm

• Zurzoth, Chaos Rider

"Whenever an opponent discards"

• Nath of the Gilt-Leaf

• Tourach, Dread Cantor

Some side options are reanimator, since you're going to be filling graveyards fast, and spellslinger, since most of the straightforward options are instants and sorceries.

any_response on Timing with Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

Hello swarm intelligence :)

I have looked into Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer, absolutely love him, but want to check how his timing works exactly as i am still confused.

1. I suppose that if several cards go into my graveyard at the same time (e.g. in my discard at the end of my turn), i can play a Mana Crypt or Dark Ritual to pay for other spells discarded at the same time that resolve later. Is that correct?

2. Do i have to choose the order the order and number of cards i want to cast the moment they hit the graveyard, or can i wait for 1 or 2 of these cards to resolve and then decide what to cast next (if all cards are dicarded and played with oskar).

3. Is there any possibility to counter my own spell (cast a 0-drop and immeadiately counter it with An Offer You Can't Refuse, or would i have to cast that counter from my hand to get the right timing?

Thank you in advance for your help!
