Hello Replica,

Anointed Procession is a must have in a token based deck because it doubles the amount of tokens you make.

You can get a 9/7 flying, lifelink, indestructible, and haste creature by sacrificing 5 of your tokens to Westvale Abbey  ^Flip.

Felidar Retreat gives a 2/2 cat token ever time you play a land.

Second Harvest instantly doubles your tokens.

March of the Multitudes convoke your current tokens to make more tokens.

Hanweir Militia Captain  ^Flip 4 or more creatures turns this creature into a token making machine, which gets stronger the more tokens you have on the battlefield.

Anointer Priest gain life everytime a token ETBs.

Basri Ket doubles your attacking tokens with his -2 ability.

Spear of Heliod gives all your tokens +1/+1 and has a removal ability as well.

Woodland Champion powers up every time you create a token

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Philosopher

Hello,

I can see the appeal for Realmwalker but 4 seems a bit much for a deck that only runs 1 creature type and no ways to mess with the top of the library. How useful is the 2nd one?

I like that you're using Esika's Chariot but it's kind of a shame you don't have any big tokens to duplicate. You could mix in maybe 2 Emeria's Call  ^Flip to your mana base to get access to angels eventually. You might as well add a few Angelic Ascension since you're pretty naked to fliers anyway, and it's a pretty versatile card. I guess it's not exactly on theme but angels would work nicely with Esika's Chariot both as target for its ability or to crew it.

More on theme, I'm not sure how well it would fit in this deck but did you consider Felidar Retreat ? You like cats, you like +1/+1 counters, it gives you both! Just make sure you have 4 Fabled Passage if you try it out.

Cheers.

Hi, I like the curve of your cats. At least 16 1-2cmc cats are important to swing at turn two/three, I think. How does Felidar Retreat perform?

Lotus Ramp Example List:

• 4x Elvish Reclaimer as repeatable Lotus tutor

• 4x Sylvan Scrying as single-use Lotus tutor

• 4x Vizier of Tumbling Sands

• 4x Kiora, Behemoth Beckoner

• 4x Pore Over the Pages

• 4x Hidden Strings

• 4x Dig Through Time

• 4x Pelakka Wurm

• 1x Fae of Wishes

• 2x Nissa, Who Shakes the World

• Lotus and lands. You'd be winning with either Nissa or Pelakka Wurm.

Example curve:

• t1 land, Elvish Reclaimer

• t2 land, sylvan scrying

• t3 land, Kiora

• t4 use Reclaimer to jam Lotus, untap lotus with Kiora, Pore over the pages and Vizer to sift through your deck a bunch of times until you can jam Pelakka wurm.

That is, of course, a rough draft.

Wishclaw Blink exmaple deck:

• 4x Wishclaw Talisman

• 2x Skybind

• 4x Omen of the Hunt

• 4x Oath of Nissa

• 4x Omen of the Sun

• 1x Divine Visitation

• 4x Oath of Kaya

• 4x Oath of Liliana

• 1x Bonds of Mortality

• 2x Treacherous Blessing

• 1x Solemnity

• 1x Nine Lives

• 1x Zendikar's Roil

• 1x Felidar Retreat

• 4x The Birth of Meletis

• 4x Fatal Push

• 4x Thoughtseize

• 2x Eidolon of Blossoms

Plus some stuff, get to 80 cards, add Yorion in SB as companion, eventually win with token flood.

I want you to look at those too first-draft fairly optimized decks. Take a really good look. I want you to count the number of cards that are in both decks.

Now, I want you to do this exercise: guess how many cards in the lotus ramp deck can go in the wishclaw deck, and how many cards from the wishclaw deck can go in the lotus ramp deck.

Tell me your answer, and we'll see if you're right.

Raining Cats and Dogs Nice work bdodds, I think you have selected a handful of great cards but I'd think you could benefit from an earlier CatDog play and cheaper creatures to really start raining cats and dogs. Even without Aluren, every creature coming in with an extra token produces insane value. Especially considering your general's ability.

Below, I would like to outline 4 core concepts and considerations. Ramp, Creatures, Protection, Draw.

Ramp - Prioritizing cards that help you play Rin & Seri turn 3! Nature's Lore Rampant Growth Three Visits Boros Signet Selesnya Signet Gruul Signet Talisman of Conviction Talisman of Unity Talisman of Impulse Fellwar Stone This should be easy to replace the ramp packaging you already have. Look to cut cards like Explosive Vegetation, Chromatic Lantern, Obelisk of Naya, etc.

Creatures - Prioritizing 3CMC or less and upping your creature count to closer to 30! Think about adding creatures that fullfill multiple roles and allow you to run less other stuff. Qasali Pridemage is a great example cause it can pump a swinger +1/+1 as well as remove a pesky enchant or artifact.

Cheap Utility Kitties- Adorned Pouncer Brimaz, King of Oreskos Bronzehide Lion Initiate's Companion King of the Pride Leonin Relic-Warder Oreskos Explorer Pride Sovereign Qasali Ambusher I like the returners you have for multiple cast triggers too! Can get stupid with Aluren... Whitemane Lion Temur Sabertooth Fleetfoot Panther ? Snow Hound

Cheap Utility Doggos- Abzan Beastmaster Ainok Guide Bolt Hound Resolute Watchdog Selfless Savior

Some real cheap beefers could be nice considering they make a token, but could also see not making the cut- Wild Nacatl Loam Lion Leonin Vanguard Isamaru, Hound of Konda Sacred Cat

Protection/Return - Build a huge board and keep it protected! Unbreakable Formation Rootborn Defenses Heroic Intervention Teferi's Protection Asceticism Marshal's Anthem Kindred Boon Akroma's Will Flawless Maneuver

Draw(ish) - The cheaper the cards in hand the more you gonna empty and wanna draw! Skullclamp Colossal Majesty Elemental Bond Beast Whisperer Fecundity Garruk's Uprising Descendants' Path Realmwalker Hunter's Insight Snake Umbra Lifecrafter's Bestiary Mentor of the Meek Guardian Project Return of the Wildspeaker Shamanic Revelation Slate of Ancestry Collective Unconscious Camaraderie

General good cards for Cat/Dog: Maskwood Nexus Mirror Entity Crib Swap Felidar Retreat Basilisk Collar Thousand-Year Elixir Rings of Brighthearth Seht's Tiger Shields of Velis Vel Naya Charm Kindred Summons Volatile Claws Beastmaster Ascension Titanic Ultimatum Hour of Reckoning Triumph of the Hordes Finale of Devastation Idyllic Tutor Winds of Abandon Lightning Greaves (secret lair dog art!) Coat of Arms Swiftfoot Boots Impact Tremors Rhythm of the Wild Aura Shards Shared Animosity Mirari's Wake Growing Rites of Itlimoc  ^Flip Any Cheap Changelings really...

Nice one, some suggestions:

• Overrun is a strictly better Overcome except for the and it's still budget-friendly; this is an easy one since you should'nt have problems with mana fixing.
• Emeria Shepherd is nuts in the very late game, and I don't see many mana sinks for that part of the game in your list. On the other hand I don't know what to cut, maybe consider her if you find yourself with like 15 mana open and nothing to do with it too often, or if you have problems with recursion and mass removal.
• Even if Retreat to Emeria is a strictly worse Felidar Retreat, I think it is still worth running as it can easily win games in decks like this. Same problem with what to cut tho.

Ashaya, Soul of the Wild only turns nontoken creatures into lands. It looks like unfortunately that last combo involving Felidar Retreat's token would not work the way you described. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. =(

If you were to replace Felidar Retreat with something like Conjurer's Closet or Eldrazi Displacer then it could work. You'd Flicker a creature with an ETB effect each turn instead of generate a new token.

ImaginitiveRascal hey dude thanks for the feedback!!...well i do realise there are better options, thing is, some of them are pretty new and kinda dificult to get here,things like Iridescent Hornbeetle , Conclave Mentor , Felidar Retreat ,Garruk's Uprising would be ideal but gotta build with what i can get :S.... Still, can be very explosive!
