Need Tap/Tapped Creature Payoff Suggestions
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 2, 2025, 11:33 a.m. by MindBoogaloo
Hello y'all,
I'm still working on my Zirda, the Dawnwaker concept deck (Happy Sweatshop Workers). My wincons are:
-
combat by generating alot of tokens:Crash the Party, Devout Invocation
-
burn with Burn at the Stake
My game plan is to flood the board with small value generating creatures and then, later on in the game turning them into big payoff cards such as the ones mentioned above. However, after doing extensive research I couldn't find that many finishers. I'm sure I have overlooked some things and I am hoping you might be able to suggest some cards or strategies.
Thank you!
Is Throne of the God-Pharaoh along the lines of what your looking for?

@ FormOverFunction: That'd indeed be a good inclusion if I had some strong creatures in my deck. Atm, my single most powerful creature is a 4/5.
@ Bookrook Yes, something along the lines of Throne of the God-Pharao. Pls keep in mind that all permanents are required to have an activated ability (see Zirda's companion restriction).

MindBoogaloo yeah, the bonus isn’t huge, but it also gives trample to everyone. That may end up being more important than the +X/+X. Let us know how the deck goes, I’m excited to hear!

If you’re going wide, I would humbly recommend my all-time favorite throne: Dragon Throne of Tarkir. Perfect theme/mechanics balance, gives any creature you want an activated ability, and has the potential to GREATLY improve the effectiveness of your swarm.
