Anikthea, Hand of Erebos

Legendary Enchantment Creature — Demigod

Menace

Other enchantment creatures you control have menace.

Whenever Anikthea enters the battlefield or attacks, exile up to one target non-Aura enchantment card from your graveyard. Create a token that's a copy of that card, except it's a 3/3 black Zombie creature in addition to its other types.

What about Anikthea, Hand of Erebos as a lieutenant?

Not sure what your budget is, but if you don't mind shifting away from blue, the new Enduring Enchantments deck really synergizes well with itself, and has plenty of room for upgrades, as well as an alt commander in Narci, Fable Singer if you're more interested in sitting back and draining opponents vs swinging out with Anikthea, Hand of Erebos.

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link: Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, Battle for Bretagard, Growing Ranks. It's the best way to help people understand what's going on in your question.

The copies of the tokens created in this example will also be 3/3 creatures. Copy effects take into account what's written on the original plus the results of any other copy effects that the original is subject to. This means if a copy effect makes a copy with some specific different characteristics from the original, those differences will carry over to any copies of that copy.

Yes, a Battle for Bretagard that also happens to be a creature token can make a copy of itself. A saga gets sacrificed when its last chapter ability fully resolves and leaves the stack, so it will be on the battlefield long enough for its effect to work on itself.

Thanks for the suggestions SufferFromEDHD. I'm kind of on the fence of retiring this deck & converting it to Anikthea, Hand of Erebos, once that precon drops. Similarly, I'm also on the fence to step away from Enchantment strats for a bit, as it's the Archetype I've played the most since I started playing MtG, & it's growing a bit stale for me.

I've played Estrid's Invocation & Aura Thief before in my old Tuvasa the Sunlit deck. I omitted them to try new stuff in this deck, & felt the Aura Thief + Enchanted Evening shenanigans were kinda clunky to pull off in that previous deck.
