For full details on the deck, check out episode 86 of the Legendary Creature Podcast (Tokens | Commander Themes |+ Tana & Vial Smasher Deck Tech).

The basic idea is that we're not so much concerned with the tokens getting into combat. More than anything we want to capitalize on them doing damage as they enter (see Purphoros, God of the Forge , Impact Tremors , etc.) and as they leave (see Poison-Tip Archer , Vindictive Vampire , etc.).

Because the deck relies on indiscriminate damage, we're throttling the strategy by bringing in Vial Smasher, having a higher density of ramp, and strapping our token creation to high CMC creatures and spells.

There is a window early to take this deck down, but this deck closes the window quickly as the game progresses.
