The Name of the Game: Each poster's challenge is to design a card that would assist/synergize/combo with the commander posted before theirs, within the same color identity (doesn't have to match exactly, can be colorless). You can push this as far as you want - anything from "instant infinite combo win" to simply useful. Then, post a legendary from Magic, or one you designed.

When Flustering Efreet deals combat damage to a player, shuffle the cards from that player's hand into his or her library, then that player draws four cards. Stepping foot into efreeti territory is easy. Leaving, on the other hand, can be quite the challenge.
