Rationale
Moku is a 2cmc 2/2 that rewards casting noncreature spells: pay {1} on each trigger to pump herself +2/+1 and grant all your creatures haste until end of turn. Signature in red spellslinger and aggro shells where she converts cantrips or burn spells into surprise haste-enabled attacks; pairs well with prowess-style decks that naturally cast noncreature spells every turn. The {1} optional cost means she's always safe to pass on, but the repeated haste-grant on a wide board can be explosive. Low raw stats without spells limit her ceiling.
Learnings (3)
Moku's haste grant applies to ALL creatures you control, not just herself — a wide token board with a single cheap noncreature spell can create an unexpected alpha strike.

The {1} payment per trigger means in spell-dense turns you must choose when to pay (each cast triggers separately), letting you selectively pump only before lethal attack windows.

As a legendary Bard Ally, Moku is thematically aligned with party/ally synergy decks but the Ally subtype has minimal mechanical support in Commander, so treat her primarily as a spellslinger payoff rather than a tribal card.
