Mardu BasTime Changes by OmarAlvarenga

Format: Commander

Commander: Caesar, Legion's Emperor

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Caesar, Legion's Emperor leads a Mardu token swarm that attacks early and turns attack triggers into more tokens, card draw, or direct damage. The primary plan is to establish a cheap token engine, add an anthem or enter-the-battlefield burn such as Warleader's Call or Purphoros, then use Caesar with attack-trigger doublers like Isshin and Windcrag Siege and token doublers like Anointed Procession or Mondrak to overwhelm all three opponents in one or two combat steps. Secondary lines use aristocrat drain with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Goblin Bombardment. Caesar is the main engine and finisher; no hidden commander exists, since the deck lacks Phyrexian Dragon Engine and every core line runs through Caesar's attack.
