This is a pretty standard Rhys the Redeemed deck. Focusing on token production and multiplication, it bypasses opposition and goes around enemy defenses to overwhelm opponents.

It has a few infinite combos to generate massive numbers of tokens, with a little bit of redundancy to help ensure they come out more regularly.

Famished Paladin + Resplendent Mentor also creates infinite health, which can trigger alternate win conditions with Felidar Sovereign and Aetherflux Reservoir. And it's a long-shot, but Helix Pinnacle always has a chance of ending the game.

I aim for the deck to move rapidly, with cards like Calix, Destiny's Hand and Vivien Reid firing off each turn to try and grab necessary tools. Altar of Bone and Skullclamp are easy to use in a deck filled with 1/1 tokens, and Defense of the Heart is both a functional tutor and a way to thin the deck.

The deck has a great deal of protection in it, but I'm not sure how much of it is properly useful. Privileged Position, Sterling Grove, and Shalai, Voice of Plenty provide wide-ranging protection. Fog, Heroic Intervention, and Spike Weaver provide solid fog effects, and Requiem Angel and Fresh Meat provide incredible protection for tokens against board wipes, even if I lose other practical cards in the process. Archangel of Tithes discourages opponents from attacking me, and I'm considering adding Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist + Presence of Gond or Ghostly Prison as a redundant form of similar protection (although I'm reluctant to play Ghostly Prison because I generally want to avoid Stax effects).

I still want to clean up the deck and make it more efficient. Eldrazi Monument is great, but it may not be the most practical for this deck - I have similar thoughts with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite. Some cards, like White Sun's Zenith are useful, but might be too slow or better served by being replaced with another tutor or instant. I'm also lacking spot removal such as Swords to Plowshares, and that can cause difficulties for the deck.

I would love to hear any and all recommendations, and thanks for checking out the deck!
