Lorehold, the Historian
Lorehold, the Historian Commander Deck
Lorehold, the Historian enables a miracle-focused strategy by letting you discard and redraw during opponents' upkeeps, giving you repeated opportunities to cast your entire hand of instants and sorceries at their reduced miracle cost of two generic mana. The deck floods the board with high-impact spells — mass removal, resource generation, and overwhelming token swarms — while building toward victory through Approach of the Second Sun, which can be reset to the top of the library using Scroll Rack or reshuffled with Wheel of Fortune to cast it a second time and win the game. There is a reanimation subtheme present as Lorehold's trigger can be used to discard the reanimation targets and the bulk of the reanimation spells can be successfully miracled off of Lorehold. This helps the deck continue to function if the commander is repeatedly removed. A suite of protection spells and resilient white creatures keep your board intact while you set up the kill.
