This deck is designed to function without the commander; in fact, Zaffai can often be used as a red herring to draw out removal which would eliminate an otherwise important engine piece.

Your goal will be to repeatedly cast spells, accruing some kind of advantage with each spell, with the two limiting resources being mana and cards.

Guttersnipe and Ral are good options to repeatedly damage opponents while casting spells, and spells like Explosive Iteration and Expansion//Explosion in combination with Zaffai can deal massive burst damage.
