Sunlit Commander, Tight Play
Inti, Seneschal of the Sun is a compact attacker that turns routine pressure into card advantage and tempo. At {1}{R} you get a 2/2 Legendary Human Knight whose attack trigger lets you discard to place a +1/+1 counter on an attacking creature and grant it trample until end of turn. That interaction makes every attack a decision point where you convert surplus cards into incremental board growth and lethal reach.
Beyond the combat bonus, Inti's discard payoff reads like deliberate card selection. Any time you discard cards you exile the top card of your library and may play it until your next end step. That creates a steady stream of options and fuels graveyard synergies while keeping the action on the battlefield. Use Inti in aggro midrange shells that can leverage discard outlets and temporary access to exiled resources for efficient, repeatable value.
