Emmara's Tap Dancing Lessons

Commander / EDH GW (Selesnya) Tokens

chirz2792


Maybeboard


Token deck built around abusing Emmara's tap trigger. This deck is number four of my top five. The idea is to tap and untap Emmara as many times as you possibly can so you can create a bunch of tokens and overwhelm your opponents.

MVPs:

  • Earthcraft: Tap a creature to untap a basic land. Most people know this card from the Squirrel Nest combo. It's one of the most powerful cards in the deck and it immediately gives me value if it lands.

  • Nature's Chosen: Being able to tap Emmara to untap Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun is pretty insane. Then you can use this to untap Emmara so you can tap her again to do something else. My group knows this card and it's become a kill on sight card for them. It's a pretty great feeling when the control player decides that this card is worth the Force of Will or Mana Drain.

  • Skullclamp: Do I need to explain why? This card is on the MVP list of every deck I have it in.

  • Growing Rites of Itlimoc  : In this deck it's trivial to flip this card and then it becomes a Gaea's Cradle that can tap for mana without any creatures on the board. It wins me games with Kamahl, Fist of Krosa.

  • Presence of Gond: Tap Emmara to create two different tokens. With an untap engine my board explodes pretty quickly with this card.

  • Smuggler's Copter: The looter scooter destroyed standard and it provides insane value in this deck as well. I can tap Emmara to create a token and crew the copter so I can start looting.

  • Archangel of Thune: One of my most powerful win conditions. Second only to Craterhoof. Turns all of the soldier tokens that Emmara makes into a Drana, Liberator of Malakir effect that grows my board exponentially.

  • Craterhoof Behemoth: Everytime it lands I win. Do I need to say more?
