Deck overview

An Azorius token-draw engine built around Bard, King of Dale. Bard turns every non-first draw into two cards and doubles all token creation, turning small cantrips and single token triggers into a huge board. The primary plan is to resolve early draw/token engines (Rhystic Study, Smothering Tithe, Adeline), cast Bard, then chain attack and spell triggers into massive card advantage. Secondary wins come from Psychosis Crawler lifedrain, Halo Fountain's tap-fifteen win, or Moonshaker Cavalry/Akroma's Will alpha strikes. Mondrak, Glory Dominus acts as the hidden backup token doubler, and counterspells plus stax pieces hold off disruption while the engine snowballs.
