Update to the C19 precon. Initially, I intended this to be a more fair version of my deck Zur Slide Sphinx Combo. However, it very quickly leaned more into the token theme. The goal of the deck is to create an engine that allows you to draw 2 cards a turn to generate tokens, then use generated tokens to deal direct damage or attack and draw more cards with Edric-style effects. This is in heavy contrast to Zur, which relies mostly on Astral Slide to recycle ETB effects for value.

Some things I'm still considering or working on:

  1. It's not always easy to draw 2 cards on someone else's turn. Rielle, the Everwise helps a lot, but more options would be useful. Top considerations are Alhammarret's Archive, Teferi, Master of Time and Ephara, God of the Polis.
  2. The deck really starts to hum if it can land Anointed Procession, but there's not a lot of great protection or redundancy. Some copy effects or some form of recursion such as Hall of Heliod's Generosity might be helpful.
  3. I think there's not enough interaction. Given the commander and all the tokens being made, Solar Tide may be strong here, but some other cycling removals like Forsake the Worldly might be good.
  4. I'm not convinced that this deck really gets much of anything from New Perspectives or Fluctuator. Ideally, you're less looking to cycle your whole deck in a turn and instead to cycle 1-2 cards a turn. These are both heavily on the cut line.
  5. I haven't decided if a "self mill" backup plan is useful here. I maybe-boarded a bunch of those cards, but that plan seems at odds with the "draw exactly 2 cards every turn" theme that a lot of the cards are built around. That could be a different direction to take this deck, but it seems a lot better in Zur than here.
