An interesting take on an Aura centered synergy, Siona digs for an aura on ETB and also creates tokens when auras get attached to stuff. This deck aims to create a few tall beaters, which will be supported by a cast of various tokens. Both Siona, Captain of the Pyleas and Armored Skyhunter can help me dig for Shielded by Faith .

Primary Combo Win-Con

Shielded by Faith + Siona, Captain of the Pyleas = an arbitrary number of 1/1 Human Soldier tokens.

Crashing Drawbridge can help the tokens get haste & swing for lethal, or Altar of the Brood can mill out the table as the arbitrary number of tokens ETB. Concordant Crossroads would be a potential upgrade at some point, but not an urgent one.

Most of the cards in this list are strong in their own right, but could be cut to add additional ramp, removal, or auras.

  • Courser of Kruphix Again, I feel like I could just include a straight up ramp spell. Playing lands off top is cool, but I'm not sure if I want to give the rest of the table extra info on my upcoming plays.

  • Elspeth, Sun's Champion We don't have many walkers in our meta, and they tend to get killed pretty quick. I don't think she would ever Ult, and would likely just poop out a few tokens or wipe some bigger threats.

  • Ghostly Prison Dissuade attacks, but kinda feels like overkill if I will be making tokens. I guess it's more insurance if my board gets wiped, or if I don't have many tokens on board yet.

  • One with Nature Tutoring out a basic is useful, but is dependent on actually connecting with combat damage. I can see it being successful once or twice early game, when boards are still fairly open. Might just replace with a Land aura for ramp.

  • Shalai, Voice of Plenty Her buffing effect is kinda whatever, but I think she does help with some flying offense/defense, and adds an additional layer of protection to a strategy that needs to protect creatures.

  • Sigil of the Empty Throne Making flying tokens is always relevant, but feels clunky every time I play it.

  • Sphere of Safety I think I would be more likely to cut this than Ghostly Prison . It's slower, but its effect scales and also protects my 1 PW, which might also be cut.

A mixture of cards I currently have, or are cheap enough that I'd consider picking up.

  • Arasta of the Endless Web Another token producer. Has seemed okay when a few of my friends have played it. Currently in my collection.

  • Awakening Zone Ramp and token producer. Has felt kinda "meh" the couple times I've played it. In my collection.

  • Boonweaver Giant Can tutor up relevant combo pieces out of anywhere. For 7 mana, I'd rather be playing multiple spells in that turn. Currently in my collection

  • Bow of Nylea Deathtouch on attacks is cool, along with the utility options. Currently in my collection

  • Femeref Enchantress Card draw when any enchantment is destroyed is cool, since I can benefit from the table's stuff getting blown up, also adds sting to my stuff getting removed. Seems like it would eat removal. Not in my collection yet.

  • Heavenly Blademaster Simultaneous go-tall beater, and anthems my board for going wide. Also seems like it will quickly eat removal before I can do much with it. Currently in my collection.

  • Heliod, God of the Sun Vigilance anthem is always cool, and can make enchantment creature tokens that will trigger any Enchantresses I have on board. Currently in my collection

  • Karmic Justice Removal magnet, but insurance against spot removal. Currently in my collection

  • Pollenbright Wings

  • Silence

A token army is cool to have, but tokens that can grow with Cathars' Crusade and get some servings of keyword soup are even better.

Auras

A little more variety in the aura ingredients compared to the creatures, but a couple instances of Protection, Trample, Flying, and First Strike

Creatures

Creature ingredients primarily provide Flying, but also some additional spices of First Strike, Double Strike, and Vigilance
