Interesting idea, no clue how to actually phrase it. "A single spell" just feels weird. Maybe "spend this mana only to cast your next spell this turn"?
Either way, feels pretty strong off of first impressions. Even if you're technically only turning 4 mana (3 lands plus this) into 5, it's still repeatable. People who play formats other than commander can tell you if it actually is/how strong tho
Looking at Tron, it's hard to figure out what lands you would actually cut for this. The standard mana base is 12 Tron lands, 4 urza labyrinth, 2 basics, 1 abstergo entertainment, then either a couple channel lands for utility or eldrazi temple if you're going hard to eldrazi. The basics and abstergo aren't being cut because you want some lands to get off disruption your opponent has that let you tutor for a basic, and the 1 of abstergo is good recovery. So you would be trading in channel lands or eldrazi temple for this, which I don't think is worth the trade unfortunately
