King Dale by jimlc2001

Format: Commander

Commander: Bard, King of Dale

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Bard, King of Dale turns every extra draw and every token manufactured into doubled output. The deck ramps to him, then uses 'second card drawn' payoffs such as Mischievous Mystic, Detective of the Month, and Prince Imrahil to create multiple token waves. Adeline and Hero of Bladehold increase the swarm during combat, while anthems and Inspiring Leader turn the board lethal. Junk Winder and Psychosis Crawler provide alternate angles, and protection instants let a critical attack survive a wipe. This is a go-wide value deck that wants to resolve Bard early, then win through combat damage.
