Siona, Secretly Wonder Woman

Commander / EDH* GW (Selesnya)

Fangride


This is a deck for the legendary creature, Siona, Captain of the Pyleas, from Theros: Beyond Death. The deck seeks to combo off quickly by finding Shielded by Faith, enchanting Siona with it, and winning by generating infinite tokens. There are several ways to do this, and lots of backups in the process.

Let's chat about each of the cards listed under "Wincon" specifically, shall we?

  • Aetherflux Reservoir is a payoff to your immense access to lifegain through creature token generation and lifegain triggers. You'll likely not be casting 10 cards a turn, but will instead make use of the lifegain you'll be getting through other cards.
  • Altar of Dementia is used as a payoff for pulling off the deck's core combo - looping an aura over and over to create 1/1 human soldier tokens.
  • Altar of the Brood is the same as the above.
  • Beastmaster Ascension is simply a tool for attacking with an army of 1/1s.
  • Blasting Station is similar to the two altars above, but you'll sacrifice a token after you've generated a new one (remember to make sure you've made a new one first, or your aura will be put into the graveyard!)
  • Cratehoof Behemoth is the same as Beastmaster - make lots of tokens, swing with the swole creatures.
  • Felidar Umbra can be moved between creatures, allowing you to generate lots of tokens if you have the mana to use it.
  • Reins of the Vinesteed and Shielded by Faith server the exact same purpose, but Shielded by Faith is better in every way. Both allow you to make infinite tokens with your commander, but only Shielded by Faith can do it alone. Reins of the Vinesteed needs a sacrifice outlet as well. Both however do work by simply attaching it to a creature, and then moving it on to the next one. You can use Siona for Shielded by Faith, but you cannot with Reins of the Vinesteed, so keep that in mind.

What do I tutor for?

Tutoring in this deck is very easy! With your creature tutors, grab the piece of whichever combo you wish to assemble you are missing. If you plan to win with Aetherflux Reservoir, and have it and your commander out for instance, grab a lifegain creature so you can gain infinite life with Shielded by Faith/Reins of the Vinesteed. Also, if needed, grab either your combat wincons (Craterhoof) or your recursion creatures if they are needed instead. With your enchantment/aura tutors, Shielded by Faith is your number 1 priority, as it allows for the infinite creature generation which can win games on its own.

You have a great toolbox waiting in your deck based on the board state, so always try to find your missing pieces and work from there.
