Erinis, Gloom Stalker
Landfall commanders usually want you to draw lands and play them; this one instead treats your graveyard as the reserve tank, pulling a land back to the battlefield every time it swings. That reframes the whole engine. Fetchlands, sacrifice lands, and anything that mills or self-mills your own manabase become fuel rather than losses, and the attack trigger rewards you for having spent lands rather than hoarded them. The deathtouch is the piece that makes the attack step viable in the first place: a 3/3 that trades up against anything it hits keeps the recursion trigger firing turn after turn, since blockers have to respect it. Because the reanimation targets a land card specifically, the ceiling depends entirely on what you feed the yard, from a Field of the Dead in an army build to a Boseiju that answers whatever the table left up. The Choose a Background slot is where the archetype gets defined: pairing a green three-drop with a partner-style commander lets the deck point the land recursion at combat, ramp, or value depending on the background chosen. It is a small, self-contained landfall-recursion package built to anchor a two-commander shell rather than carry a table on stats, and the design leans on that partnership to fill out an identity the front side deliberately leaves open.
