Deck overview

Marneus Calgar leads an Esper token and aristocrats strategy designed to convert token generation into massive card advantage and decisive drain finishes. The primary game plan deploys low-cost token generators to trigger Marneus Calgar, drawing cards each turn while assembling game-ending combos. The deck wins by going infinite with Ashnod's Altar and token doublers like Mondrak, Glory Dominus to draw the library and drain opponents with Mirkwood Bats or Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim. Alternatively, the deck can assemble the Exquisite Blood and Sanguine Bond combo or overrun opponents with buffed creature tokens using Cathars' Crusade.
