Stella Lee promises some really big turns and really big swings. Each of her abilities is a one-card combo in itself, which is usually very popular; in this case, the only issue might be when circumstances mean you have to choose between them, and you feel like either could be advantageous. Given the requirements of actually casting a significant number of spells, it might sometimes prove to be a little fiddly to get her to work with the more expensive cards, so you might have to pick out your most impactful two-mana spells and/or all the cost-reducing effects. I don’t think that’ll hold her back too much, though – while the effects are all known things, she feels exciting enough to build around and not be Yet Another Spellslinger Commander.

Talk about a spellslinger. Stella Lee, Wild Card wants to throw all of the spells out in one turn and reward you for doing so, and it so turns out that there’s a set mechanic that lets you cast free spells on a future turn. The obvious synergy is with plot, but Stella Lee also can work with suspend or just brute-forcing rituals and the like in one turn. A three-mana 2/4 with no real protection may not be the most inspiring body, but once you gt a chain going, she can do a lot of rude and weird things with it, between functional card draw and copying a massive spell.
