Chun-Li deck built around Commander damage. Cast Chun-Li with 5 mana to exile two spells and start piling up the damage. Cheap, protecting, pumping, card-drawing instants hopefully keep Chun-Li big and safe. Cards exiled with kick counters stick around, so you can bounce Chun-Li to hand to recast her to exile more instants without the commander tax.

When Chun-Li attacks, you select as many spells exiled with kick counters as you like, then pay for each copy before any spell resolves. You cannot cast Snap and untap lands to pay for another spell with a kick counter. Untapping lands for your second main phase is still useful.

Finishers: Akroma's Will, Show of Confidence, Kava's Onslaught Sage of Hours can go infinite if you can cast 5 spells that target it per round (or fewer if those spells add +1/+1 counters)
