Token bard by fatboi904

Format: Commander

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bard, King of Dale is both the engine and the payoff: he doubles every non-draw-step draw and every token creation, converting a dense package of "second draw" triggers into an overwhelming board. The primary plan is to land Bard by turn 4-5, then use cheap looters and cantrips to chain second-draw triggers from Mischievous Mystic, Prince Imrahil, Homunculus Horde, and Thopter Fabricator. Adeline, Bard's Company, and Stridehangar Automaton turn the token flood into lethal combat damage. A secondary attrition line uses Psychosis Crawler plus large draw effects and The Ten Rings. There is no hidden commander; every card is built around Bard's replacement effects.
