Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell from your hand, open an Attraction.
{X}, {T}: Exile target instant or sorcery card with mana value X from your graveyard and choose an Attraction you control that doesn't have a midway counter on it. Put a midway counter on it. For as long as that Attraction is on the battlefield, whenever you visit it, copy the exiled card. You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

What a Myra the Magnificent deck wants
The plan the Forge derives for this commander: the roles it fills and how many of each.
- 8× Put haste on the commander the turn it resolves — a tap ability is unusable otherwise
- 32× Mana value at or above the floor — for a cascade commander a cheap card is a DEFECT, not a bargain
- 5× Untap the commander so the tap ability is an engine, not a one-shot
- 16× A creature that HAS the keyword the commander's trigger counts — a card that merely says the word is not one
- 20× A card that is CAST to trigger the commander — reanimating or blinking it does not count
- 22× Instants and sorceries — for a magecraft/prowess commander the spell COUNT is the engine
- 6× Put your own cards into your graveyard as a resource
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
- 1× Answer a whole board at once
