Lots of changes —Aug. 9, 2014

My sideboard now contains a bunch of cards that I won't be adding to the deck just because they put too much of a target on my head during multiplayer. We will call these the "bullshit cards."

With that out of the way, I've begun to finish out the finer details of the deck. I've added in a bunch of synergistic spells and MagicalHacker helped me a bit with some ideas.

Currently, I'm looking for a spot to fit Rhys into the deck, but once that happens I feel like the deck will be more or less complete assuming there aren't cards that fit that I'm not aware of.

Thanks for checking out the deck and please +1 if you enjoyed!

I like this deck, always had a fondness for token generating decks.

As you say you have spent months testing and perfecting this deck and Im sure you know more about how it works than I do, but I was wondering if you had considered using Eidolon of Countless Battles here? With the sheer amount of creatures you will have on the board this would make one of them rediculously powerful.

Ramz-E: I thought a lot about your suggestion (mostly bc I both own and love the Eidolon). Here's what I came up with:

What does eidolon bring to the table, synergy-wise? He provides a way to make a ton of small creatures into a tall threat instead of a wide one. That's really good. But I do not have an enchantment sub-theme so him being one means nothing. I also don't have any auras, so that's also a not so good thing.

If what I'm excited for with the Eidolon is his ability to make a creature with p/t = to the # of creatures I have, I already have Voice of Resurgence , which makes a creature as such who synergizes more with it being a token. I do have a slim amount of populate in here, after all. And then, additionally, why would I not just run Wayfaring Temple instead? I can't bestow with him, but he has the chance to make more creatures, or even populate a voice elemental token to make multiple creatures of such strength.

I really like Eidolon of Countless Battles , but I think after giving it some though he just isn't better than other things I have or that I haven't even found room for.

i think you could get away with paying one more mana and play with Avacyn, Angel of Hope .

trade out Spidersilk Armor for Akroma's Memorial , why stop with reach. why not keep going and give all your dudes practically everything.

i will also suggest Mimic Vat . it is very similar to the Soul Foundry , but it has more utility, and can interact with your opponents graveyards as well. heck you could run both.

i also have a green white EDH deck built in the same vain as your deck just different, (the hole synergy thing). its a creature heavy Trostani deck that focuses on gaining lots of life while hitting my opponents in the face with big stompy creatures. here is the link if you want some more ideas Life of the World

oh ya, you have some big creatures. but i forgot to mention that you are missing the biggest green creature, Worldspine Wurm he is huge and even produces little tokens for you later.

drathturtle - Im going to forgo tandris. Most ways that people are able to stop a board of tokens is with a wipe, and she doesnt help with that. And combat damage doesnt worry me too much when I have 10+ 1/1s. Thank you though!

Slogmog - avacyn is amazing, but also not fun. Ive begun putting in a ton of effort into making this deck creative, powerful, but mostly fun. You may notice the sideboard that ive added. In it, ive placed a handful of cards I deem to be super good but not for the more casual environment. They will come in when applicable. Memorial will replace the armor when necessary, mimic vat is cool and ill try to fond A spot for it. And worldspine ive hone back and forth with. At this point im having too hard of a time removing things... :(

Hey Spooty! It was cool watching your deck in action last night! It seemed awesome, and totally fun! It seems like your deck loves card like Doubling Season , and would want to play as many as it could. Primal Vigor seems like a good idea in that case. It sorta acts like Doubling Season number 2. Good luck!

Cheers!

Also I think I saw True Conviction in play last night, but it's in the sideboard now. Was that just testing to see if it deserved a spot?

Asceticism and Privileged Position are great cards to consider. Aura Shards is better than Aura Mutation .

I run a Trostani tokens deck, In Trostani We Trust, I have a bunch of combo/ synergies that are great in GW decks

RedSoxFanKy: Thank you! I can't remember if you play EDH or not but we should play some at some point! Primal vigor IS like another doubling season, but it effects the opponents as well. Normally, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but almost every friend I play EDH with has a token deck at some point lol. As for True conviction, see below.

cian114: Haha believe it or not I used your deck as one of a few research decks when building this one here. I should probably mention somewhere that the sideboard I have is really just that. I play with a casual group of friends and hate being the guy to come to the table with cards that make everyone upset, so I have placed all cards that I personally deemed "mean" into the sideboard to switch in when I need them. Thank you for the suggestions though! :D

Sure, I'd love to help! (I'm glad to help anyone with anything EDH/Commander, so feel free to ask for help again anytime!)

First, I just want to mention that the Karametra deck I built is a bit more gimmicky and this why: I play lots of 0-drop creatures, like Memnite , and lots of powerful creatures that often are seen as too expensive, like It That Betrays . I wait to cast the creatures once Karametra resolves, and plop them all down to immediately go to eight lands or so. That combined with the fact that I can get Karametra out on turn three with mana dorks make her that much more broken. Here's my decklist, hope you like it!

I also have Primal Surge with no other instants or sorceries, so I think I need to add Akroma's Memorial in for the haste. I do realize, this is one of your no-no cards though...
