Song of the Worldsoul

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a spell, populate. (Create a token that's a copy of a creature token you control.)

Just saw this spoiled and it got the creative juices flowing. Looks like it did for you too, Speedy Gonzales! Hopefully some more Shard cards are printed.

Token wise Seance can be interesting in the deck along with Song of the Worldsoul. Also a little surprised at no Ajani planeswalkers. Also might like Soul of Eternity, Serra's Emissary, and Archon of Valor's Reach. Just a couple of thoughts.

Honored to have this much discussion over the ruling of my creation and that it does actually work as I hoped!

A creature version of Song of the Worldsoul.

The vampire commander deck from Ixalan is black white and one of the themes is sacrificing vampires to make demons, make an Ixalan vampire that does this, or continue the challenge of making a noncreature card into a creature.

I build my decks to do 2 - 3 things max. Aside from ramp and draw, which every deck wants to have.

Let's look at Daxos the Returned. What does he want?

  • Enchantments
  • Tokens

Okay. Let's see. We know we want to get tokens out, and we see his activated ability is not a tap ability. So we should take advantage of this and have an immense amount of mana rocks. Yes these are artifacts, but what we want is to be able to activate his ability 3, 4 or even 5 times per turn. We need the mana, so we need the slots.

Next, we know we want enchantments. Let's look at what type of tokens he creates: They are both and tokens, so enchantments such as Bad Moon and Honor of the Pure work beautifully as early-game curve pieces, or late-game fast plays. Then you also have Righteous War which will hold synergy with both colors.

But an army of tokens isn't enough; You also want to stop opponents from interacting with you. Here, you can choose one of three routes:

  • Lay hard into prisons so that nobody can touch you
  • Lay hard into death & taxes to destroy plays
  • Mixture of both

This comes down to your personal meta. If your meta sees lots of heavy combat, prisons are best. If your meta sees lots of combos and big plays, D&T is best. If your meta sees both, mixed is best.

But all things should revolve around Daxos pumping up his tokens. True Conviction, Whip of Erebos, Ethereal Absolution, Brave the Sands, Commander's Insignia, Death Pit Offering (Wonderful after a wrath, or early game), Etchings of the Chosen will protect Daxos... and these are just pump spells. There's so much more you can have going on in there, such as: Anointed Procession, Divine Visitation, Song of the Worldsoul, Sigil of the Empty Throne... you can combo Conspiracy with Endless Ranks of the Dead... if you give them lifelink, through the plethora of enchantments that do so, you have Necropotence, Greed and Erebos, God of the Dead who all serve as draw engines...

So my Daxos deck would do the following:

  • Ramp INSANELY hard
  • Massive amounts of enchantment anthems
  • A mixture of prisons and stax effects

Go wide and tall at the same time while building offensive and defensive positions. No card you draw into will ever be a dud, because it'll always serve to strengthen your boardstate.

Hour of Reckoning might not be a bad addition, and if you want another token maker Entreat the Angels does exist. It's not the best card, but I think Miracle is a fun mechanic. Angel of Sanctions Also makes a token of itself that can exile a thing, and Song of the Worldsoul just makes more tokens for (almost) free. That, and I think Parhelion II is a fun card. Maybe run Mass Calcify for a one-sided wrath?

Nightmare Shepherd is one of the best as it adds a lot of functionality with no upfront cost and allows you to exploit sacrifice mechanics like evoke. Creating token clones with etb/ltb can easily become overpowered, especially when combined with populate. In fact I built a great ETB Roon EDH deck around it using cards like Yosei, the Morning Star, Protean Hulk and Wayfaring Temples that clone themselves. Token clone generation is amazing because it's essentially ETB blinking as a side effect. You have some cards that do it already listed under abuse but I think the mechanic is good enough and has enough viable cards that it might be worth making a new category for it.

Token clone makers

Stolen Identity Blade of Selves Mirror Mockery Zndrsplt's Judgment Repudiate / Replicate Hour of Eternity Supplant Form Dance of Many Minion Reflector Bramble Sovereign Progenitor Mimic Anointed Procession Quasiduplicate Rhys the Redeemed Back from the Brink Dual Nature Mimic Vat Rite of Replication Song of the Worldsoul Helm of the Host Doubling Season Parallel Lives Battle for Bretagard Mechanized Production Orvar, the All-Form Prototype Portal Saheeli, the Gifted Saheeli's Artistry Seance Second Harvest Soul Foundry Spitting Image Splinter Twin Replication Technique Saheeli Rai Mirror March Mirrorworks Molten Echoes Mythos of Illuna Sublime Epiphany Flamerush Rider Felhide Spiritbinder Littjara Mirrorlake God-Pharaoh's Gift Hofri Ghostforge Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker Followed Footsteps Nightmare Shepherd Osgir, the Reconstructor Echo Storm Cackling Counterpart Esika's Chariot Feldon of the Third Path Flameshadow Conjuring Trickster's Talisman & of course anything with populate.

Also some other blink type cards:

Blink-Yorion, Sky Nomad Conditional bounce- Cunning Evasion ETB clone- Wall of Stolen Identity Graveyard blink- Cauldron of Souls, Twilight Shepherd, Adarkar Valkyrie ETB Abuse- Jalira, Master Polymorphist, Proteus Staff, Master Transmuter. Listing the ones that specifically clone or blink artifacts in their own group might be helpful too.

Hi Elasar99!
I'm not totally sold on Song of the Worldsoul . I feel that its utility in this deck would be limited by a number of factors:
1. Populate would get me only creature tokens (and only one each spell).
2. The ability is triggered by casting and currently it seems to me that this deck prefers to play on "recursion" from the graveyard rather than play from the hand, especially in the late game.
3. For its effect, i find it to be quite expensive in terms of mana value. If i were to decide to add more token-multipliers, i would probably opt for a card like Rings of Brighthearth . I think it could be way more effective in the vast majorities of cases.

Thank you for the suggestion though. I really appreciated that you took the time for commenting and i will surely riconsider the card if I ever feel that the deck needs to focus on tokens even more!
