For instance, if the commander dies 3 times and you send him the 3 times to the commander zone, he'll cost 6 additional mana when you try to cast him again.
If you have a weird reanimate deck and the commander dies 3 times but you send him to the graveyard the first 2 times to reanimate him, and only put him in the commander zone on the 3rd one, he'll cost only 2 additional mana.
