Deck overview

This deck leverages Council of Reeds to create an exponential army of legendary clone tokens. Because the commander removes the legend rule for your creatures and creates a copy of itself whenever you cast a noncreature spell before combat, every existing token copies itself each turn (growing from 1 to 2, 4, 8, and 16). The deck supports this growth with low-cost cantrips, versatile countermagic, and massive tribal anthems like Coat of Arms, Heroes' Podium, and Banner of Kinship. Once the token swarm reaches critical mass on Turn 5, anthems boost the team into lethal power ranges, enabling a clean table knockout on Turn 6. In addition to combat dominance, the list packs asymmetric crowd control in Raise the Palisade and Junk Winder, supported by a compact backup infinite mana engine via Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal.
