Full Throttle gives your creatures haste and trample for a turn cycle at two mana — that's a combat-winning combination that most red spells charge more to deliver. Rootha, Mastering the Moment is the clearest home for it, copying the spell to extend the effect, but any deck that swings wide or wants a surprise alpha strike will find the rate clean.

Commanders with the highest synergy
Rootha, Mastering the Moment
Rootha, Mastering the Moment copies instants and sorceries as her core mechanic, and Full Throttle is exactly the kind of cheap, high-impact spell worth doubling — two triggers means your board has haste and trample for back-to-back turns, which is often lethal.
The Emperor of Palamecia
The Emperor of Palamecia builds a wide board of tokens and wants to push them through defenses fast, making Full Throttle's haste-plus-trample package a reliable one-card solution to stalled boards.
Samut, the Driving Force
Samut, the Driving Force cares about untapping creatures and generating repeated combat value, and Full Throttle's combination of haste and trample ensures every creature she untaps can actually close out a game rather than chump-block.
Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers
Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers reward attacking with multiple creatures, so Full Throttle functions as both an enabler for their triggers and a way to punch through blockers with trample in the same turn.
Lightning, Army of One
Lightning, Army of One is a solo-attacker who wants to connect repeatedly, and Full Throttle's trample means she doesn't get brick-walled by a single chump blocker — it's direct damage enablement at two mana.

Full Throttle is legal across the major constructed formats but lives almost exclusively in Commander, where the combination of haste and trample on an entire board is a game-ending play rather than a minor tempo bump. In 60-card formats, two mana for a one-turn effect that doesn't replace itself rarely clears the bar when creature-based aggro decks have permanent haste enablers available. Commander is where Full Throttle earns its slot — a single swing with even four or five creatures through trample regularly ends the game, and the low mana cost keeps it castable even on a disrupted curve. Oathbreaker offers a similar large-board environment where the spell can close out games from behind a planeswalker gameplan.
