Rite of the Raging Storm — Bolt-born Battlefield
Rite of the Raging Storm rewards decks that trade board presence for repeated aggressive tokens. Cast for {3}{R}{R}, this enchantment turns every upkeep into a token generator, forcing opponents to respect a recurring 5/1 attacker named Lightning Rager. The token arrives with trample and haste so it impacts life totals immediately, and the built in sacrifice trigger makes each Rager a one turn threat that still pressures blocks and removal choices.
From a commander perspective the card lends itself to attrition and token synergies while controlling combat math for your table. Creatures named Lightning Rager cannot attack you or planeswalkers you control, so you can deploy the effect without accidentally triggering commander tax or friendly board damage. It fits into red lists that want constant aggression or that leverage copies of tokens for value on the stack or in graveyards.
