Inferno Project enters as a creature with power and toughness equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard — the bigger your spell count, the bigger the threat, and it scales fast in spell-heavy decks. The ceiling is high enough that Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight and similar graveyard-feeding commanders can deploy it as a lethal attacker for just five mana.

Inferno Project is a Commander card at heart — the long game, deep graveyards, and spell-slinger strategies that define the format let it grow into a genuine finisher. In Legacy and Vintage it's technically legal but irrelevant; five mana for a vanilla-sized creature with no enters-the-battlefield effect and no evasion doesn't compete in those environments. Outside Commander, Inferno Project is a bulk curiosity.
