Just a silly tokens brew for a non-competitive commander to see what directions it could go.

Two ways to gain infinite tokens in the deck are Paradox Engine + 5 creatures into Sprout Swarm or Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest.

Infinite mana generated through Isochron Scepter + Desperate Ritual with Paradox Engine out.

Backup wincons in the form of Purphoros, God of the Forge and Triumph of the Hordes.

Red and green are sorely lacking in instant/sorceries that draw cards, so I decided to include all of the wheel effects that I could. Similarly, spells that loot (aside from Faithless Looting ) can be used with wort out to turn into card advantage.

The full gamut of one-drop dorks help power out our commander, and cards like Xenagos, the Reveler and Gaea's Cradle/Cryptolith Rite/Earthcraft help turn our tokens into more mana to chain into other cards.

The deck runs a decent amount of artifact/enchantment removal, but could probably use more creature interaction. Potential adds could be Lignify, Lightning Bolt (hits a lot of the 3cmc and less commanders in the format), Song of the Dryads (multi-purpose), Blasphemous Act, maybe Sudden Demise if I want to avoid killing my own creatures. I liked the idea of doubling ramp spells like Nature's Lore and Three Visits but probably too slow and winmore to run in a competitive meta, so that's likely where room will be made for interaction.

Consistency (in terms of card advantage and tutoring) is where the deck falls short the most. There just aren't a lot of ways to tutor up the main wincons in GR.

I'm not very experienced when it comes to tuning lists to be competitive, so any feedback on individual card choices (especially in the mana base) are greatly appreciated.
