One way this commonly plays out is with creatures
Anything that benefits from playing or having large creatures is a solid strat
This can easily accumulate Storm before you connect with your Commander, or you can use this card as your Storm payoff to generate a ton of mana and card advantage
All of the above work with pretty much any commander, which is another key aspect if you're on a shoestring budget: A manabase you can use in multiple, different decks
As I always say, when players keep making the same play mistake, that's usually a sign that there's something wrong with your design
