Deck overview

Led by Brenard, Ginger Sculptor, this is a Bant token-value deck built around converting every nontoken creature that dies into a 1/1 Food Golem token copy. The Splicer package - Blade Splicer, Master Splicer, Sensor Splicer, Vital Splicer, Wing Splicer, and Darksteel Splicer - generates a steady stream of 3/3 Golem tokens, while Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Adrix and Nev, Twincasters, Elspeth, Storm Slayer, and Caretaker's Talent multiply them. Brenard's static +2/+2 and trample anthem turns that token mass into the primary combat threat. The deck uses a creature-tutor shell of Birthing Pod, Birthing Ritual, Eldritch Evolution, and Neoform to find the right Splicer, lord, or answer, then finishes with Finale of Devastation or Akroma's Will. It is a grindy midrange deck: strong at attrition, excellent at turning its own deaths into value, and capable of explosive combat turns, though it lacks a compact infinite finish.
