Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Whenever you attack, spells you cast from exile this turn cost less to cast, where X is the number of players being attacked. Exile the top X cards of your library. Until end of turn, you may cast spells from among those exiled cards.
"It's a ghoul-eat-you world out there. Follow my orders if you want to survive."

Rulings (3)
- If you attack a planeswalker but don't also attack that planeswalker's controller, that player won't count toward the value of X.
- Commander Liara Portyr's triggered ability reduces the cost of all spells you cast from exile, even if you are casting them with a different permission. For example, if you are casting an exiled permanent spell with an Adventure in the same turn that this triggered ability resolved, it would cost
less to cast.
- Commander Liara Portyr doesn't have to be among the attacking creatures.
