You may want to consider some "mana dorks" for your commander in the way of easy-to-cast, different colored token creatures:

• Forbidden Friendship
• Ral's Reinforcements

Also, there are some interaction-related convoke spells which are probably worth subbing in over other non-convoke options:

• Conclave Tribunal
• Everything Comes to Dust
• Hour of Reckoning
• Ephemeral Shields
• Temporal Cleansing

Depending on the direction you want to take, there are some cards which support a swarm strategy:

• Nadir Kraken pairs nicely with your extra card draw, and generates rare blue creature tokens for blue-color convoke mana.
• The Locust God god is nice for continual token gen, and again synergizes with your extra card draw while providing uncommon blue creature tokens.
• Oketra's Monument is nice in decks with a lot of white creatures, like yours, and adds continuous white token generation.
• Seraph of the Masses becomes a huge body that can just delete opponents without flying/reach blockers.
• Sublime Archangel can let swarm decks keep up pressure on opponents, even while you ramp. Throw out a random 8/8 token once per turn or whatever, forcing your opponents to deal with it, and it itself can become huge with Flying.
• Moonshaker Cavalry is basically a white version of Craterhoof Behemoth. One turn swing for the win.
• Massive Raid is a single-target bomb which uses your army of weenies, but doesn't cost much mana.
• Arabella, Abandoned Doll is a great bomb once you have a big board of weenies. Build up like 30 tokens or whatever, swing with Arabella and the swarm, kill the table. Or at a minimum deal a bunch of damage and gain a bunch of life.
• Divine Visitation is a non-bo with Arabella, but the upside is definitely worth it. Upgrade the token army.
• Angelic Aberration is similar but provides one-time additional ETB triggers if you lean into that more.
• Molten Gatekeeper is literally a second Witty Roastmaster but with unearth upside.
• Impact Tremors?? If you're really going that route with other cards, why not?

And here are some misc cards to consider:

• Jeskai Ascendancy can straight up give you free spells. Tap creatures for a convoke non-creature spell, Jes Asc untaps them on cast.
• Kykar, Wind's Fury can let you go mana-positive with non creature spells, which you have a lot of. Also pairs nicely with Quintorius, Loremaster which is on your current list.
• Skullclamp is an obvious draw engine for a token deck.
• Unstoppable Plan gets the weenies (and all others) back online on your opponents' turns, freeing up for instant-convokes or just blockers.
• Narset, Enlightened Exile is a cool way to get extra value from non-creature cards that end up in your graveyard.
• Mentor of the Meek is nice for potentially repeatable card draw in this kind of deck.

May 3, 2024 I started a new quest. Having built 52 decks, I endeavoured to play them all, in roughly the same order as I created them.

May 18 Rhys the Redeemed helms this deck :-) Token Selesnya deck win, topdecked Hour of Reckoning, (amazing Nontoken boardwipe), I had about 25 token creatures after activating Rhys once. Beat Cam despite his only 1 damage Ajani Steadfast emblem 8-6 .571

I was gonna suggest Waves of Aggression as the only boros card with retrace, but you already got it :) I might also rec some asymmetrical effects that won't hit your golems like Crackdown, also Crisis of Conscience and Hour of Reckoning are asymmetrical wraths which could be pretty sweet in here. I am a fan of Rokiric as well!, I have built him in modern where he is also very fun and powerful!

Cut Bloodchief Ascension, Cruel Celebrant, Damn, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, Zulaport Cutthroat, Gift of Immortality, Halo Fountain, Tainted Remedy, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Hour of Reckoning.

10 cuts down, 23 to go. Thank y'all for the help. Time to sleep on it.

Thank you for reaching out Tsukimi, I deeply appreciate it. I like your custom commander, she seems like a fun twist on this clue/token archetype. In your play-testing, I'd say def be cognizant of how prohibitive (or not) the 3 clue sac requirement is. I don't play with Clues much, so I forgot they don't have to tap like Treasures lol. I almost recommended that the Clues she creates ETB tapped, like Ognis, the Dragon's Lash.

Anyways lol, in looking at what you have so far, here are a few thoughts I have:

• Your 7ish sources of ramp that I'm seeing might be a bit low. Could be worth it to maybe get in 2-3 mana dorks for a little more acceleration on turns 1-3 (if that feels lacking).

• Generally speaking, I always feel a bit iffy on cards like Hour of Reckoning, which have a very heavy single color investment, for 3 color decks. On that note, I think Cavalier of Dawn & Hour of Reckoning could be potential swap outs.

• Bronzebeak Foragers could be a potential swap for Cavalier of Dawn, & gives you another Druid of Purification-esque effect that you could copy.

• Detective of the Month could be a potential swap, mostly because you only have 2 other Detectives in deck, not counting the Detective tokens she could make.

• Volatile Fault could be a cool addition to your mana base, especially since it makes a Treasure token.

• Scapegoat and Fanatical Devotion are both fairly budget protection effects that can make use of the creature tokens your deck will make.

• Fractured Identity seems kinda risky. I recognize that you could break parity with some of your token doubling/copying effects, but I feel like it could be troublesome to remove a big threat, and now there's suddenly 2 copies opposing you. I'd recommend checking out Soul Partition as a removal and protection option.

All in all, the rest looks pretty solid. I was surprised at how strong the reprints are in this precon. I'll take another look at your deck once I'm off work. These were just some quick thoughts I had on first look.

Updated. Not sure for the better, but for sure plays into the win conditions.

• Utter End -> Detention Sphere : Slower but more enchantments
• Cyclonic Rift -> Swan Song : If I have that kind of mana, I should win the game. Rather have a counter.
• Cathars' Crusade -> Swiftfoot Boots : Let's protect Marneus Calgar, he's kind of important to us
• Flowering of the White Tree -> Lightning Greaves : Let's protect Marneus Calgar, he's kind of important to us
• Glorious Anthem -> Rings of Brighthearth : Let's enable the infinite mana combos
• Inquisitor Greyfax -> Phyrexian Altar : Need this bugger around for consistency of infinite mana combos
• Spear of Heliod -> Pitiless Plunderer : Supports Phyrexian Altar and general ramp.
• Hour of Reckoning -> Training Grounds : Makes combos easier. Helps survive early.
• Celestine, the Living Saint -> Basalt Monolith : Infinite with Rings of Brighthearth
• Reconnaissance Mission -> Mana Drain : Kind of nice counterspell
• Solemn Simulacrum -> Laboratory Maniac : Win condition on draw
• Company Commander -> Mana Crypt : Great ramp
• White Sun's Zenith -> Clever Impersonator : Let's create a backup copy of whatever needs the most redundancy.
• Vanguard Suppressor -> Greater Auramancy : We might as well protect those enchantments
• Commissar Severina Raine -> Propaganda : Too weak a redundant win condition. Let's be consistent here and protect the motherland instead.

kpres on Commander Deckbuilding Advice - A …

I have some deckbuilding advice. I'll make it concise:

The Three Problems

Your goal is to play a winning combination of cards before your opponent can do the same. To do this, you need to draw the right cards, be able to cast them, and do this faster than your opponent despite their efforts to stop you. These are the Three Problems your deck is trying to solve. It is tempting to fill your deck with only cards that work towards a build-around commander, but if you do, you'll have 4 or 5 mana available on turn 6, you won't be able to stop your opponent's threats, and you won't be drawing the cards you need. Follow the quantity recommendations below to deal with the Three Problems and still get to play your strategy.

Include 28 lands, plus 2 for each color, plus the average mana cost of your deck. So for a typical 3 color deck, you're looking at 39-ish lands.

Include 10 cards that let you deal with threats at instant speed. Every opponent uses artifacts, enchantments, and creatures, and you often need to disrupt a combo that's about to go off when it's not your turn.

Include 10 cards that net you more cards. With a high density of card draw spells, you are more likely to draw into your next draw spell and never run out of things to do.

Include 10 cards with low mana cost (3 or less) that give you more mana. Generally for every 2 mana rocks above this number that cost 0 to 2, you can cut one land.

Include up to 5 "win-more" cards, not more. These are cards like Doubling Season that are only good when your deck is already doing what it's supposed to do.

Include 1-2 spells that serve as a big finisher that works even when you're losing. Examples: Rise of the Dark Realms, Insurrection, Expropriate, Primal Surge, or Overwhelming Splendor.

Include 1 card that hurts decks that use the graveyard, such as Tormod's Crypt.

Include 1 card that recycles your graveyard, especially if it can be played from the graveyard or activates when milled. Gaea's Blessing is a good one. Feldon's Cane is especially good if you are using your graveyard and you would rather have your graveyard be in your library than exiled by someone's Bojuka Bog.

Include 1 board wipe, but it must fit the theme of your deck and break parity. For example, All is Dust when you're playing colorless, Living Death when you're playing reanimator, Hour of Reckoning when you're playing tokens, Cyclonic Rift in blue, etc. The more one-sided, the better.

Include 20 creatures, at least 10 of which can be played by turn 3. Some of these cards can double as your removal, ramp, or draw, or strategy cards. Having creatures prevents you from taking opportunistic early combat damage, and helps you recover quickly after a board wipe. Creatures with ETB effects are more valuable when you can blink or reanimate them.

Include 20-30 cards that work with your deck's strategy. It seems like not enough, but when you include more than this, you're cutting removal, draw, or ramp, which are all necessary for dealing with the Three Problems. Also don't forget that when you have enough card draw, you'll have access to most of these strategy cards.

Crucible of Worlds and Command Beacon makes it where you no longer pay command tax Divine Reckoning Slash the Ranks The Eternal Wanderer and Hour of Reckoning are decent board wipes to consider

very janky but hear me out

Avacyn's Memorial and Leyline of Singularity i noticed your only using token creatures Mirror Box when your against snowball goblins or elves this combo comes in handy
