Play this song:

OK comrads, now that you're inspired and definetly motivated, let's go to the deck.

First,our great leader: Trostani, Voice of Selesnya, AKA Stalin of Ravnica

Praise it, it will grant not only more soldiers, but will also provide you with tons of life, im not exagerating. He (or she i don't know really) has a lot of synergy with our artifact and enchantments.

Pseudo-tutors:

Cream of the Crop and Congregation at Dawn are budget options for the traditional/imperialist tutors of this format, the proletarians can not afford it.

Draw engines (We are not good at drawing as the capitalist blue decks):

Selvala, Explorer Returned gives mana, card advantage (rare in selesnyan colors) and life gain for all proletarians, it will make the worker's class endource you.

Well of Lost Dreams Thisone got cheaper with the last reprint, this card combined with our great leader will provide you a lot of drawing, it's not hard to draw seven cards, remember our country has resources to expend in card draw. Sylvan Library is for capitalist pigs!!

Mouth / Feed Tgrants us with tons of cards just for having our glorious army.

Skullclamp is obligatory in any communist civilization and in every commander deck too, this card is busted.

The red party's control:

Sylvan Reclamation Will destroy the plans of artifact players, and other enchantments, remember we hate magic.

SEND THEN TO GULAG! with Swords to Plowshares and Selesnya Charm. (i don't have money for Path to Exile)

Bow of Nylea is a toolbox by it self, probably the best divine weapon...cof cof god is a lie

The proletarians also need to rebel against the opressive system, for this we have Glare of Subdual

But, we need some protection, behold our iron curtain: Sandwurm Convergence, this card saves lifes, and it's worth to ramp really fast, just to have it on the board. We are also running Druid's Deliverance, cause it's a staple from trostani decks, just in case.

Also don't let the americans have weapons in your glorious country, confiscate it! how? with: Aura Shards and acidic ooze.

"Alright comrad, but how do we destroy the capitalists? we are just workers" Good question, my commie friend.

With belic power of course:

Collective Blessing, Cathars' Crusade, Intangible Virtue, etc. will garantee power of the revolutionary forces, there are a lot of cards in the deck that does this.

Also don't forget Marshal's Anthem, Not just Empower the people, but bring back some of our fallen warriors.

Soldier producer's:

Ok there are tons of token producers in this deck, i will just assume you know how WW2 ended...with gargantuan numbers of soviet soldiers invading berlin, so this is our first win condition. We use the standard token shell, but without doubling season, this card got really expensive.

Also, token producer's are selfexplanatory, do i really need to explain why Hydra Broodmaster or Hornet Queen are essential?

Protection:

Asceticism is really good not only to protect your cards, but to protect the other's players aswell, so you can make good aliances with other soviet states.

Dauntless Escort is a REAL patriot he will die for the great motherland and protect his comrads.

We are not using a lot of nukes because they are bad, man....really bad, so we using just three Hour of Reckoning, Martial Coup and Phyrexian Rebirth, JUST IN CASE.

I should've told you about the glorious farms of Soviet Union, so let get in to the ramp:

Selesnya Signet and Farseek are staple, just run then, without questions.

Avacyn's Pilgrim is not very good, i consider taking him off, but sometimes...he will help.

Sylvan Caryatid Is a a mana dork, that has hexproof, i think your capitalist friends will not be able to bolt the bird.

The best ramp cards in this deck:

crypolith rite, Mirari's Wake and Growing Rites of Itlimoc   would make Stalin proud, they get you tons of mana

INTERACTIONS

There's a lot of synergy in this deck, with a lot of playmakers.

1- Doubling tokens and triggers: Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession, Second Harvest and Panharmonicon

2- More ETB effects with again Panharmonicon

3- Clone useful creatures like Eternal Witness,daunteless escrot and Acidic Slime with Mimic Vat (can also copy opponent's creatures) and Soul Foundry

4- Cards that your leader needs to see in the battlefield: Crested Sunmare and Phyrexian Processor. the interaction with this cards, can grant you the game.

5- Panharmonicon also doubles two important triggers in the deck: trostani and crem of the crops.

6- Spawnwrithe + Bow of Nylea = an army of just one card that doubles each of your turns, and gets the damage trought.

7- Entreat the Angels can be easily cast for it's miracle cost using cream of the crops

Safewright Quest substitute, lands in you oppening hand, giving you extra consistency.

Sylvan Offering Makes sure the rest of Europe, doens't negat your plans, empower then, to destroy then later.

Asceticism also can be used to negociate with the western world, just use your imagination.

And that's it folks this is my Soviet Trostani's deck, i hope capitalism die and you have fun with this deck.
