Deck 5 by user5537026

Format: Commander

Commander: Leonardo, the Balance and Splinter, the Mentor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Leonardo/Splinter is a token-and-blink value pair. Splinter is the engine: every nontoken creature that leaves makes a Mutagen token, so blink effects (Cloudshift, Ephemerate, Flickerwisp, Continue?) create extra tokens while reusing ETBs. Leonardo is the payoff: one token entrance per turn becomes a global +1/+1 counter, and his WUBRG activation gives the whole team menace, trample, and lifelink for a finishing swing. The primary plan is to build a wide token board, pump it once per turn with Leonardo, and finish with a combat-step token event. Secondary paths include recursion/ETB value and Endless Foot Assault's attacking Ninja tokens. There is no double-faced or hidden commander.
