### PLAY THIS VIDEO THE ENTIRE TIME YOU READ THE DECK DESCRIPTION FOR FULL EFFECT

Sit down kids and I'll tell you a story of how I used Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun to build an army of tokens and destroy all of my friends in EDH.

So this deck is a U/W token build which is in it of itself not a new idea of course. This deck however is going to take advantage of a new quirky protagonist by the name of Temmet. On Amonkhet, Temmet is the Vizier who is in charge of the anointed as well as the other viziers who serve the Gods of Amonkhet. He is the Vizier who embalms the dead so that they may still serve a purpose to those under the protection of the Hekma.

In our deck, Temmet is going to be the commander that helps us use our army of tokens to swing in for lethal. Temmet has a nifty ability that allows us to make one of our tokens unblockable (in addition to hyping the token up with a little +1/+1 action). Now, some of you might be thinking, "But greatgoofini if we beef up a token and give it unblockable, isn't it just going to become a target for removal?" Why yes dear reader, you would in fact be correct IF... we were going to beef up a single unblockable token. I figure the only way around that is to create an army of tokens that are already beefy and swinging wide essentially rendering Temmet's ability as both arbitrary enough to draw attention away from himself and incredibly difficult to stop at the same time. When every target is the perfect target, how is your opponent going to address it?

So you want to beat down you enemies/friends with an army of tokens eh? Well, in order to that, you first need to build your army, and like an army, your deck will consist of some of the best soldiers, warriors, and all around tactical rapscallions that we can muster up. A lot of this is going to come from eternalizing and embalming our creatures, which is quite fitting considering our commander was in charge of that embalming process on his home plane.

Most of our deck consists of our small tokens like 1/1 spirits and 1/1 warrior tokens. More than that, we have cards like Adorned Pouncer to serve as both early game damage and a great blocker.With all those little guys coming in to fill up our board, we might as well set up a little life insurance with cards like Anointer Priest, Soul Warden, and Soul's Attendant. Cards like Soul of New Phyrexia as well as Avacyn, Angel of Hope serve to make our army of tokens a little more formidable than just 1/1 chumps.

Aven Wind Guide is obviously a no brainer since it gives our tokens flying and vigilance which is no laughing matter when you've got 20+ power across the board in just base token power alone.

What would our great token build be without some support of some of the best planeswalkers. Elpeth in all forms absolutely provides great support to our tokens as well as some removal. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar is also a great choice since he not only creates tokens, but also creates an irremovable emblem to beef up our little guys. Ajani Goldmane is not only one of my favorite planewalkers in general, but this Ajani specifically beefs our tokens as well as creates a potentially huge monster for that late game.

Bros never let bros play tokens without helping them become smashing machines. I mean come on which one of us here didn't start playing magic so we could smash?.... But that's besides the point. Playing enchantments like Honor of the Pure--Dictate of Heliod--Glorious Anthem--Intangible Virtue as well as others in the deck are going to add up. Before you know it, you could easily have 30+ tokens that are all +7/+7. At that point making one of your tokens with unblockable with Temmet is just gonna be icing on your pound cake. Wait does icing go on pound cake? Forget it, you know what I mean. And besides, when you're running the EDH table you can put icing on whatever the f**k you want! Failsafes like Hour of Reckoning and Wrath of God can help you stop any creature heavy board states that are threatening your ability to score. Plus with the multiple ways of making your creatures indestructible, I wouldn't be to worried about wiping that board. Having Eternalize and Embalm abilitiesin your graveyard aren't exactly going to hurt either.Despite what article 49 of the brocode says, (The only time that cockblocking is condoned by the bro code is when the designated cockblocker (aka the bombardier) has viable reasons to stop a bro from hooking up with a girl.) We will be running propoganda as well as Ghostly Prison to stop our bros from scoring.
