Deck overview

This is a Baylen, the Haymaker Rabbit swarm deck centered on 20 copies of Hare Apparent. Each additional Hare creates more Rabbit tokens, giving Baylen material to convert into mana or cards. The deck then scales through Cathars' Crusade, Coat of Arms, Gaea's Cradle, and a large Finale of Devastation. Its restriction package includes Rule of Law, Ethersworn Canonist, Drannith Magistrate, Collector Ouphe, and Null Rod, which can make opposing development awkward but do not form a reliable hard lock. The main weakness is timing: Baylen, several Hares, a payoff, and enough mana must all be assembled before the deck becomes decisive. The deck has respectable removal and protection, but its interaction is mostly one-for-one and its recovery after a sweeper is slow. It is a creative tribal build rather than a cEDH deck, and it does not reliably complete a table kill on a fixed ordinary turn.
