Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, you may cast up to one target card of the other type from your graveyard. If a spell cast from your graveyard this way would be put into your graveyard, exile it instead.
Choose a Background (You can have a Background as a second commander.)

You sculpt a stocked graveyard early, then use Gale to double-dip on spells while building toward a mill, draw-engine, or storm-style finish. Pair with a Background to give the deck a closing dimension.
