HAIL CAESAR by Kaiser1221

Format: Commander

Commander: Caesar, Legion's Emperor

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Mardu go-wide tokens list built around Caesar, Legion's Emperor. The plan is to attack, sacrifice a spare body to Caesar, and take two modes - usually extra hasty attacking Soldiers plus a card, then later the token-count burn to finish a player. Attack-trigger makers such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Hero of Bladehold, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, and Hanweir Garrison grow the army, while Isshin, Two Heavens as One and Windcrag Siege copy those triggers. Doublers and upgraders - Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, Divine Visitation, Elspeth, Storm Slayer - turn a trickle into a flood. Parallel kill paths are ETB burn (Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, Agate Instigator, Molten Gatekeeper, Slash, Reptile Rampager) and aristocrat drains (Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, Mirkwood Bats). City on Fire triples damage to close. There are no infinite combos. Caesar is the command-zone draw and finish engine, but the 99 is still a coherent tokens deck without him.
