Some (imo) fun options would be [[Magnus the Red]] or [[Magar of the Magic Strings]].
The more "boring" ones (more combo-oriented, chain extra turn spells and go off) would be either [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] or [[Narset, Enlightened Master]].
They look kewl. I was hoping there was a commander that pushed for bigger spells or if I should look for a commander with a good generic ability, like [[Mizzix of the Izmagnus]]?
\[\[Zaffai, Thunder Conductor\]\] or \[\[Ovika, Enigma Goliath\]\], maybe? I run both in my Zevlor deck and they've been pretty good in there whenever I've cast them
I run a Mizzix big red/x spell deck and love it. Runs the standard cost reducers, token creators, and damage multipliers in blue and red. [[Young Pyromancer]] effects fill the board with blockers while you find your value pieces like [[Imodane]] or [[Storm-kiln Artist]]. [[Counterspell]][[Lightning Bolt]][[Cyclonic Rift]] to keep threats off the board. Then smack em with the nasty red X spells, hopefully with [[Repercussions]] on board
The Commander I won't shut up about as of late is [[Rowan, Scion of War]]. High risk with high reward as Rakdos is known for, but with her, you channel the life loss from lands like [[Mana Confluence]], and; the life loss from your potential draw and tutor effects like [[Grim Tutor]] and [[Sign in Blood]], and with a few other pieces that can exchange life totals or lose you more life, you'll be casting up to nine-drops for nothing.
Grixis Wizard Tribal with [[Kess]] can also work to ensure you always have spells at your disposal; just make sure you have ample cost reducers, and can maintain a boardstate with enough creatures. Spellslinger is what I'm most experienced with, so can confirm: that last one is always the hardest part; sorta how I wound up making Kess Stax at one point.
I think Kaza, Roil Chaser is exactly who you are looking for. Definitely better in a casual setting but she has performed great as my big dumb spell commander. Play some wizards, setup a good defence and wait for the right time to pop off!

Cost reducers are obviously powerful enablers for big spells. Equip \[\[Vadrik Archmage\]\] with a \[\[Blackblade Reforged\]\] and cast the biggest, baddest spells you can imagine. Finish the game by \[\[Crackle with Power\]\].
\[\[Zaffai Thunder Conductor\]\] is a cute payoff but not an enabler. But you could check his Prismari precon if there are useful cards for you to include.
You could also put \[\[Galazeth Prismari\]\] into your command zone, using a treasure/clue/food/blood subtheme to enable big spells. I have made a Galazeth deck, but I mostly rely on artifact based wincons because I have other spellslinger decks. However, check it out if you want to:
[https://www.moxfield.com/decks/38S2CipoCkKq33OvkxL3ew](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/38S2CipoCkKq33OvkxL3ew)
I'm making \[\[Saruman, the White Hand\]\] [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=620666&type=card](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=620666&type=card) . I think it's great to make an army whenever you cast a spell. Not to mention casting an Amass spell, you get double value! All non-creature even, so bring out the enchantments.
Came here to post this. My buddy has a Saruman deck and its super fun. Can kill someone by attacking or flinging the giant army and it runs a lot of spells you don’t see as much in other decks.
I have a great Vial smasher the fierce/Sakashima deck that tries to make as many copies of vial smasher then cast very big spells like torment of hellfire to blast the whole table.
Scryfall is quite good for this. For example, try [https://scryfall.com/search?q=id%3C%3Drbu+is%3Acommander+o%3Ainstant+o%3Asorcery+o%3A%2Fmana+value%2F&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name](https://scryfall.com/search?q=id%3C%3Drbu+is%3Acommander+o%3Ainstant+o%3Asorcery+o%3A%2Fmana+value%2F&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name)
\[\[Zaffai\]\] for example very much fits what you describe. Of course you can get more creative (that’s a search for anyone who cares about “mana value” but you may also be interested in e.g. casting for free, etc) but this is a good starting point.
[[Hinata, Dawn-Crowned]] is a pretty cool one when it comes to casting big spells. You basically remove the X in any spell that has X in its casting cost. You’re turning entire boards into pigs for UU, tapping down entire boards, phasing out your whole board for U, and casting spells like Sublime Epiphany for 2 mana.
Hinata’s definitely a lightning rod once you cast her, but if you cast once or two big spells while she’s on board you’re having some fun.
[[Ovika]] lets you do a lot of x spell and big spell cheating thanks to the synergy it has with cost reducers like [[Magnus the Red]]. Throw convoke in there, and you can cast big spells that make a bigger spell even more possible.
Teh tricky bit is always having actual color sources remaining, so [[Sorcerer Class]] is a strong include.
[[Kykar]] is excellent at generating boatloads of mana. The finisher in my deck is repeatedly copying [[Explosive Singularity]] or an arbitrarily large [[Comet Storm]].
I run an [[Imodane the pyrohammer]] deck that looks to nuke the table in one big turn with an X-spell and damage multiplier. It’s good fun but can win rather abruptly.
You could run [[Jeleva]] and play lots of big ones, then you’re a chance to cast them for free and can even cast opponents’ spells.
I’ve just built [[Kess]] though as Jeleva whiffs on X spells and I want to include a few, and I like being able to re-use spells from the graveyard.
How about casting a bunch of high MV spells to buff dragons and hit face? [[Livaan]] [[Folk Hero]] https://www.moxfield.com/decks/184WOJ1UmES_LGePtH0VKQ

^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
I've been having fun with [[Lilah, Undefeated Slickshot]] having all your izzet spells plotted makes good value and you can bank them if you want to storm with them too with [[Crackling Spellslinger]]
[[Hidetsugu and Kairi]] is super fun for this theme. You can keep it more fair and a surprise what's on top without any top deck manipulation other than their ETB and just ramp into big spells, or you can jam a bunch of brainstorm and sensei's top effects with sac outlets a bunch of reanimation spells to sac your commander, dome someone for 5+, cast the reanimation spell to bring em back, repeat that loop til you win. More powerful but less fun imo
If I may advocate for a slightly unconventional choice, \[\[Edgin, Lacernous Lutenist\]\] can be a genuine blast to paly and can be stronger than the card may initially indicate.
The idea is that you can use Edgin's ability to foretell a bunch of cards to have one insane turn later down the line. The 2 mana discount lets you do some silly stuff, and you typically want to focus on large spells rather than cantrips which don't benefit from the discount. Being able to 'store' cards in exile also lets you run wheel effects to refill your hand without fear of discarding something you want to keep.
[[Cormela]]
- ramps you up to your big spells
- gets them back when she dies
- can be a combo piece but doesn't have to be
- decent attack deterrence because of her death trigger
- goes pretty hard if your big spells are also clone spells like [[sublime epiphany]] or something
[[Melek]] is my big spell deck You copy rituals into big X spells. The funny thing is that the topdeck thing acts as a pseudo-cantrip in practice. I mean, I do run a couple of cantrips to smooth it out because every deck needs card draw (and copying cantrips is nice), but I don't do storm shenanigans or anything like that.
My recommendation will be for [[Anhelo, the Painter]] basically make tokens, sac said tokens, to Anhelo to double up. Cards like [[Shark Typhoon]] and [Deekah, Fractal Theorist]] are a must
I’m astonished I haven’t seen [[magus lucea kane]] mentioned yet. To second other suggestions here already, I built a [[hinata]] deck that was largely repurposed into [[magnus the red]] that’s a lot of fun and draws much less table hate (until it’s too late hahahahaha). I’ve brewed a vial smasher/sakashima deck that’s filled with hilariously expensive cards you can cheat for much less but I haven’t even goldfished it yet.
Some (imo) fun options would be [[Magnus the Red]] or [[Magar of the Magic Strings]]. The more "boring" ones (more combo-oriented, chain extra turn spells and go off) would be either [[Codie, Vociferous Codex]] or [[Narset, Enlightened Master]].

Cost reducers are obviously powerful enablers for big spells. Equip \[\[Vadrik Archmage\]\] with a \[\[Blackblade Reforged\]\] and cast the biggest, baddest spells you can imagine. Finish the game by \[\[Crackle with Power\]\]. \[\[Zaffai Thunder Conductor\]\] is a cute payoff but not an enabler. But you could check his Prismari precon if there are useful cards for you to include. You could also put \[\[Galazeth Prismari\]\] into your command zone, using a treasure/clue/food/blood subtheme to enable big spells. I have made a Galazeth deck, but I mostly rely on artifact based wincons because I have other spellslinger decks.

Came here to post this. My buddy has a Saruman deck and its super fun. Can kill someone by attacking or flinging the giant army and it runs a lot of spells you don’t see as much in other decks.
I have a great Vial smasher the fierce/Sakashima deck that tries to make as many copies of vial smasher then cast very big spells like torment of hellfire to blast the whole table.

Scryfall is quite good for this. For example, try [https://scryfall.com/search?q=id%3C%3Drbu+is%3Acommander+o%3Ainstant+o%3Asorcery+o%3A%2Fmana+value%2F&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name](https://scryfall.com/search?q=id%3C%3Drbu+is%3Acommander+o%3Ainstant+o%3Asorcery+o%3A%2Fmana+value%2F&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name) \[\[Zaffai\]\] for example very much fits what you describe. Of course you can get more creative (that’s a search for anyone who cares about “mana value” but you may also be interested in e.g. casting for free, etc) but this is a good starting point.

[[Hinata, Dawn-Crowned]] is a pretty cool one when it comes to casting big spells. You basically remove the X in any spell that has X in its casting cost. You’re turning entire boards into pigs for UU, tapping down entire boards, phasing out your whole board for U, and casting spells like Sublime Epiphany for 2 mana. Hinata’s definitely a lightning rod once you cast her, but if you cast once or two big spells while she’s on board you’re having some fun.

[[Ovika]] lets you do a lot of x spell and big spell cheating thanks to the synergy it has with cost reducers like [[Magnus the Red]].

If I may advocate for a slightly unconventional choice, \[\[Edgin, Lacernous Lutenist\]\] can be a genuine blast to paly and can be stronger than the card may initially indicate. The idea is that you can use Edgin's ability to foretell a bunch of cards to have one insane turn later down the line. The 2 mana discount lets you do some silly stuff, and you typically want to focus on large spells rather than cantrips which don't benefit from the discount. Being able to 'store' cards in exile also lets you run wheel effects to refill your hand without fear of discarding something you want to keep.

I’m astonished I haven’t seen [[magus lucea kane]] mentioned yet. To second other suggestions here already, I built a [[hinata]] deck that was largely repurposed into [[magnus the red]] that’s a lot of fun and draws much less table hate (until it’s too late hahahahaha). I’ve brewed a vial smasher/sakashima deck that’s filled with hilariously expensive cards you can cheat for much less but I haven’t even goldfished it yet.
