Life Draw token ! by user2466832

Format: Commander

Commander: Shanna, Purifying Blade

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Shanna, Purifying Blade is the engine of a Bant lifegain deck that converts incidental life gains into massive repeated draw. The deck aims to play cheap life-gain creatures and token producers, then use Shanna's end-step ability to refill and find payoffs. It wins by going wide: Ocelot Pride, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, and Elspeth make a swarm, and Legion Loyalty turns Adeline into a multi-opponent finisher. A secondary voltron line with Sunbond/Light of Promise on Shanna can take out one player. Morska and Talrand provide card advantage if Shanna is answered. There is no true combo; the deck grinds value, protects the commander with counters, and closes via combat over two or three attacks. No hidden commander is present.
