Thalisse, Reverent Medium EDH deck where the strategy is to go wide and overwhelm your opponents with a lots of creature tokens.

Neat synergies and combos with this deck:

  • Ruthless Knave + Anointed Procession / Mondrak, Glory Dominus = With a tiny investment of one creature and three mana, you can start creating an endless amount of treasure tokens while Thalisse is on the field as turns change (and even faster if you have initially more creatures on the field you can sacrifice!).

  • Warren Soultrader = Similar strategy as with Ruthless Knave, but the sac ability does not require you to pay mana for the activation. Combined with effects like from Bastion of Remembrance you no longer lose life due to it and you can try to win the game by draining your opponents.

  • Adeline, Resplendent Cathar = In a very short time Adeline has claimed it's place as an allstar of the deck. Adeline's ability allows so easily and reliably start to gather a token army since it only cares about you attacking with some creature and you get three creature tokens (which with Thalisse on the field generates you three more creature tokens).

  • Lord Skitter, Sewer King = While not as potentially explosive as Adeline, Lord Skitter is one my fav pet cards in the deck for the reason of him being able to make a token on the same turn as you play him (assuming you play him during your first main phase), and when that token enters the battlefield, you get to exile something from an opponent's graveyard (an effect that I can't stress enough of how important that can be!). Extremely good utility while still working on the main strategy of the deck (making tokens).

  • Archaeomancer's Map = Mainly played in the deck for it's first ability that is very cost effective compared to other spells that do the same thing in Orzhov colors but requiring one or two more mana. Since Thalisse's Mana Value is five, having Archaeomancer's Map and at least three lands in your opening hand ensures that you can play the Map on turn three, and then get to cast Thalisse at least on turn five. Also most of the spells in this deck are MV5 or lower so it also ensures you are able to after turn five to play most of your deck. The second ability of the Map can be very helpful too in some situations, especially when you have drawn more lands than what you might need and an opponent is still ramping or has ramped and is playing lands normally.

  • Oketra's Monument / Horn of Gondor = Both of these artifacts can get out of control pretty easily if left on the board long enough. Monument enables you to play Thalisse a turn earlier if played on curve, and nets you two creature tokens (one from casting Thalisse and second at the end of turn when Thalisse's ability triggers), and then more from each other creature spell you cast. The Horn immediately gives you another human as it enters, and with Thalisse you can generate two additional humans (then exponentially more each turn) that then turn to as many spirit tokens as you made during the turn.
