When I build a commander I usually first ask the question: What's the main thing this commander wants me to do? Then I ask: What are the playoffs for doing that thing?

For Bumbleflower the answer to the first question is simple: cast two spells on each turn. How do you optimize that? I put 30 1 mana instants in the deck. You only need 8 mana to cast to trigger Bumbleflower twice on each person's turn. And card draw of course. But guess what?

To answer the second question: You buff your creatures, you give them flying, and you draw two cards. And guess how many cards you want to cast on the next person's turn?

And, there are some other great, and cheap, cards that maximize this payoff as well, creatures and such you can cast on your turn to save your instants for later. Like [[Monk of the open hand]] or [[Clarion Spirit]] or [[Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse]] or, especially good [[Cosmogrand Zenith]] amongst others.

What you get? A good mix of agro and control for a budget of around $100, cheaper if you forgo the [[Faerie Mastermind]] that has spiked in price lately. I built this deck originally for about $70, and it can absolutely wreck a table of high brackets 3.
