My take on Emmara Token Swarm. I think I have it so that its power level is high enough to be a consistent threat at the table.

First, getting Emmara to activate is key. There are several ways to use her to tap for mana, or to tap her for some other utility such as tapping down opposing creatures at instant speed. Big payoff cards here are Honor-Worn Shaku which can tap for at least 2 mana each turn, and Presence of Gond effectively doubling token production.

Next, we untap Emmara. There are a couple one-use untappers, each upkeep untappers, mana dumping untappers with potential to be infinite, and combo style ones like Thornbite Staff that works great with Skullclamp or just to help keep blockers up.

There are a few back up token makers, but we want to center the deck around the ones Emmara makes because we just make those the easiest. However, there are many token doubling enchantments to make sure we maximize how many tokens we have.

The payoff for having so many tokens comes from our major win cons: Altar of the Brood for mill, Throne of the God-Pharaoh for life loss, Kamahl, Fist of Krosa for combat damage, or Felidar Sovereign for instant win if we can make use of lifelink or Daxos, Blessed by the Sun.

There’s a good amount of removal and protection, including Aura Shards which can get busted in this deck. It’s a tad light on creature removal and board wipes though.

Main sources of card advantage will come from Mentor of the Meek, Skullclamp, and Rite of Harmony to refill our hand quickly, and Captain Sisay / Eladamri's Call / Sterling Grove to find missing combo pieces. Idol of Oblivion provides a steady extra card each turn.
