Lutri has flash, and when it enters, if you cast it, you copy an instant or sorcery you control and may choose new targets. As a commander, it works like a three-mana copy spell in the command zone that also leaves a 3/2 body. Its companion text doesn't matter in Commander, since every card in the deck already has a different name. The deck plays strong instants and sorceries and holds Lutri until it can double a key one, like a tutor, a removal spell or a big draw spell.
In the recorded games, Lutri lists played a lot of draw and card selection, with Force of Will protecting key turns. Force of Will once countered an opponent's early ramp creature and slowed that player down a lot. Guttersnipe turned every spell into damage, giving the deck steady pressure. Flash let Lutri show up on opponents' turns for surprise plays or as a quick blocker. The deck did best when it could protect its spells, and it needed several copies of good spells before the damage added up. Only seven games were recorded.
