Mentor of the Meek

I just asked Crow_Umbra this, but thoughts on Long-Range Sensor? I like it better than Enduring Innocence, Mentor of the Meek, and Tocasia's Welcome, especially since two of those can only get you a single card a turn, but it does require more mana investment.

This looks like a lot of fun, but aside from generating tokens (and I presume, attack with them) wouldn't you also want to benefit from them in some other way? Some ideas would include draw (through cards like Dark Prophecy, Mentor of the Meek or Skullclamp), boosting all the creatures on your side of the field with something like Cathars' Crusade or adding some more benefits to profit from their deaths with cards like Attrition, Blood Artist/Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim/Zulaport Cutthroat or Pitiless Plunderer.

Ow, in terms of more token-generation ideas, how about:

Hope the brew works out!

I used to run a similar build. I always ran out of cards. Cards like Jeska's Will Firemane Commando Esper Sentinel Dawn of a New Age Trouble in Pairs The One Ring didn’t exist. Even Smuggler's Share Tocasia's Welcome Welcoming Vampire and Rumor Gatherer weren’t around yet, so I had to depend on Mangara, the Diplomat Sword of Fire and Ice Mask of Memory Mentor of the Meek I also ran Enlightened Tutor and Open the Armory to find the helm. I wonder how this deck would fare against a typical commander deck, which has a lot more ramp draw and removal

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

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

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.

Probably too late to change your deck, but the Kasla broken halo precon is pretty fun and powerful. If on the first edit you cut the planechase cards, it can grow pretty well. There is a mini combo with locust god, kasla, and Whirlwind of Thought. There’s also a locust god combo with Mentor of the Meek actually, locust god combos with a lot of things. Also, I noticed a large quantity of cards with etb triggers and cards that trigger off of other ETBs so maybe adding a couple flicker/Panharmonicon type cards? Probably too late, just a suggestion.

Mentor of the Meek is a classic of smol creature card draw.

Cool deck! It would be fun to go up against with my Angel Deck which is also super heavy on Lifegain, it just goes about it differently than yours.

Lifecreed Duo is a new soul sister bat bird version, maybe worth a look if you want to stack even more ETB lifegain. I like that Sheep you've got in here, it's like a better version of Mentor of the Meek.
