Before there was Kykar, Wind's Fury there was a woman named Narset, Enlightened Master . While she tried to be a good friend, she ended up becoming very powerful and would ramble on for a long time while her friends watched her, glossy-eyed. In an attempt to not lose her friends, she looked inward and was reborn as Kykar, Wind's Fury . Alright, maybe that isn't exactly how the lore went, but it's a fair allegory for what my old Narset, Enlightened Master list did to my playgroup. Anyway, welcome to Kykar, Wind's Fury EDH. This is a token-focused list that I formed after breaking down an old list (Free Spells Are Fun (Narset, Enlightened Master)).

Quick description

This deck wants to cast non-creature spells to generate tokens that will eventually kill your opponents. Kykar, Wind's Fury alongside the other token generators in the deck can generate a large quantity of creatures in a relatively short amount of time. In addition, the spirit tokens generated by Kykar can be used as mana to cast additional spells when needed.

Should I play this deck?

You will like this deck if:

• You enjoy casting a large number of non-creature spells each game.

• You want to have a large number of creatures under your control.

• You like addition.

You will not like this deck if:

• You'd prefer to cast creature spells that are high-impact threats all on their own.

• You don't want to manage potentially large numbers of creature tokens.

• Math is not your favorite subject.

Key cards

Token generators:

• Kykar, Wind's Fury is obviously your most frequently used token generator. He generates tokens off of any type of non-creature spell, and while in play provides additional mana if needed.

• Talrand, Sky Summoner , Docent of Perfection  , and Young Pyromancer are the limited token generators in the list. These cards all only create tokens when casting instants or sorceries, making them slightly lower impact than other token generators in the list. There are a large quantity of instants and sorceries in the deck though, so don't discount these creatures.

• Saheeli, Sublime Artificer , Shark Typhoon , and Monastery Mentor are the premium token generators of the list, as they will create tokens when casting ANY non-creature spell. Unlike in smaller deck constructed formats, Shark Typhoon can perform very well as a six mana enchantment in this deck, and I would attempt to hold onto it as best as you can, leaving the cycling ability as almost a last resort.

• Assemble the Legion and Elspeth, Sun's Champion are the slow token generators of the list. They only provide a few tokens each turn cycle, but if given the space needed to grow they can become overwhelming. The emblem from Elspeth, should it be feasible to reach it, drastically powers up your board, and if Assemble the Legion can survive for a little while it can produce a sizable number of tokens for no further input.

Card advantage/selection:

• Preordain , Serum Visions , Brainstorm , Faithless Looting , and Ponder are all wonderful cantrip effects. They are cheap ways to power out some tokens and then either replace themselves or offer good card selection.

• Sphinx's Revelation is a flexible card advantage spell that can be held up alongside instant speed removal to give you plenty of options to play on your opponents turns.

• Narset, Parter of Veils , Valakut Awakening  , and Dig Through Time are wonderful card selection tools and each can be played for a fairly cheap cost. In addition, they can produce more tokens.

• Skullclamp and Mentor of the Meek are cheap ways to draw cards in this kind of small creature strategy. Skullclamp is a busted card and not much more needs to be said about it. Mentor of the Meek allows you to draw cards off of almost any token the deck can generate for the low cost of 1 mana per card.

• Whirlwind of Thought , Reconnaissance Mission , and Rhystic Study all provide passive card draw to keep your hand fueled up for further token generation. Rhystic Study is just another busted card that at worst is slowing down your opponents and at best is providing you with essentially limitless cards. Whirlwind of Thought replaces any card you cast that can generate tokens. Reconnaissance Mission can draw a ton of cards with some tokens on the field. Many of them are evasive and can get through more easily, and you should also have enough of them numbers-wise to be able to punch through even moderately sized boards in a pinch.

Turning itty bitty tokens into an army:

• Anointed Procession and Divine Visitation both modify how you produce tokens. 4/4 evasive tokens are much better than most of the tokens this deck produces naturally (slight non-bo with Shark Typhoon when casting expensive spells), and Anointed Procession just doubles the efficiency of your token generators. Both on board at the same time is overwhelming in short order.

• Goblin Bombardment , Purphoros, God of the Forge , and Impact Tremors all significantly increase the value of producing tokens. Dealing damage when they enter the battlefield nets you instantaneous value for casting most spells in the deck, and turning your tokens into landmines can make boardwipes painful for an opponent.

• Cathars' Crusade , Jeskai Ascendancy , Intangible Virtue , and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite all help your tokens excel in combat. When your tokens start trading for creatures that your opponents had to pay hard-earned mana for, you know that you've made something beautiful happen.

Ending the game:

• Comet Storm can end the game out of nowhere if your opponents are relatively low on life. With Kykar, Wind's Fury present, you can dump those spirit tokens into this spell as well to boost the X cost.

• Embercleave can really power up a creature. While the majority of the creatures you will have won't start as big threats to capitalize on the double strike damage from Embercleave , there are many ways to grow your threats such as prowess triggers, Cathars' Crusade , Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , etc.

• Rite of Replication can make five copies of the best creature around. If you have Anointed Procession you get ten instead!

As always, suggestions are helpful for refining decks. It is most helpful if you can suggest a card to cut for each recommended card, and perhaps a reason why you think your suggestion is better than the removed card. Finally, don't forget to hit that +1 if you liked the deck!
