Was looking for a new commander and when I saw Rielle I was immediately interested. After looking into her I realized how intensly strong she is for things like self mill, wheel, draw damage, storm, and huge graveyard of instants and sorceries. I wanted to avoid going all in on any of those because they just felt too strong/cliche for her.

Instead, I wanted to pursue a less conventional option that I had always wanted to try. I wanted to make a deck based on big hand size (for myself so as not to provide my opponents card advantage).

The idea is to utilize Rielle's ability with control effects that would allow me to break even or net more cards in hand. I have removal for the board, for the stack, and the ability to copy spells of myself or my opponents when it suits me. I also tried to have a couple ways to allow me no maximum hand size.

Ideally the finisher is to copy a spell dealing damage based on my hand size, or damage based on a creature I control being buffed by my hand size.

I think the best way to play this is reactively, allowing my opponents to gnaw eachother down while amassing cards in hand and setting up my board. Answering threats only when pointed at me or devastatingly bad.

I will continue to update and alter this list as I make trades, playtest, and upgrade.

I did make a lot of this list with considerations for budgeting so there are many better cards I will look for down the road but this is where it's at currently.
