I haven't really seen too many Bant token decks out and about and for me, I wanted to make a deck that not only used my favorite color combo, but also my favorite gameplay mechanics: +1+1 counters and Tokens!

I used other Bant commanders in the past but Jenara, Ausura of War just seems to make the fit the best due to her ability to "do work" by herself. Unlike rafiq, she can scale with the game without the need of other spells being cast and with her only costing three mana, it is much easier to get her online faster.

The key card in the deck would be Primal Vigor where it really works with either one of my strategies. If you can make tokens, great, you have a large board presence. Are you getting +1+1 counters? Just as awesome, you will have the biggest creatures on the board. My opponents have been devastated before with a Mycolyth and the visions paired together, because the primary want is to have the counters on the creature to generate more tokens!

Another fun card for the deck and the one that made me want to even splash blue is Stolen Identity it creates a token of a creature or Artifact that is already present on the board, either side, and it is recurrable. You don't know true power until you have 4 Sol Ring on your side of the battlefield, or when you make a token copy of your opponent's commander or Avacyn, Angel of Hope

Other than that you will see 10 different removal spells, 10 card draw spells, and 10 sources of mana ramp. With this deck I really wanted to try Jimmy and Josh's commander deck template when building it from scratch and to be honest, it hasn't let me down. It's given me answers when I need them and the ability to even play my spells!

So feel free to use this deck for inspiration or guidance, and I too hope you can give me advice on some fun spells that could be synergistic with my deck overall!
