The basic idea of the deck is to load up on creatures with Oketra's Monument and flood the board with tokens and creatures-- a go wide strategy. However, M19 added some important pieces to this deck that make it explosive! Mentor of the Meek is fantastic in this deck and allows significant card advantage. If a Mentor of the Meek isn't readily available, Militia Bugler allows some digging to find one, and is a fine card by itself! After a few turns, card advantage goes through the roof!

There are five cards (two creatures) providing an anthem +1/+1 effect: Benalish Marshal and Angel of Invention. It may seem counter intuitive to have these in here as the might interfere with the Mentor of the Meek ability, but building up a board state, dropping one of these and swinging is often lethal!

I gave this a test run at FNM and got 2nd! Beat Mono-black Zombies 2-0, beat B/G Saprolings 2-0, and lost to Mono-green Stompy 1-2 in what could have been anyone's game. I think the Mono-green Stompy matchup is fairly even-- it depends on who has the better opening hand and who draws a little better with the aid of luck. That's pretty much how that match went.

In short, it's a fun, very explosive deck! A lot of card draw to keep the advantage, just enough removal to temper other decks, and just a lot of fun to play.
