Sacrifice three other creatures: You may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery and only once each turn.
Akul is a 5/5 flyer that converts three small bodies into a free, much bigger creature card from hand each turn, cheating on mana and circumventing summoning costs. Flood the board with tokens and disposable creatures early, then sacrifice them to slam fatties and reanimation-tier threats while value engines reward the constant death. You win through evasive beats and snowballing creature advantage, often dumping multiple bombs over several turns.
Repeatable free creature 'cheating' that ignores mana value, enabling huge payoffs each turn
Built-in evasion (flying + trample) makes the commander a real clock and a sac outlet in one
Synergizes with both go-wide token strategies and big-mana fatties
Black and red give deep tutors, sacrifice payoffs, and recursion
The ability needs three other creatures and is sorcery-speed/once per turn, so it's slow and board-dependent
Heavily reliant on the commander staying alive; removal and tax effects stall the engine hard
Sacrificing your own board can leave you vulnerable to wraths and overextension
Wants both fodder and expensive payoffs in hand, creating awkward, top-heavy draws
