ANALYSIS

Overview:

This mono-white token swarm deck leverages Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation to triple token production, amplified by doublers like Anointed Procession and Mondrak. It focuses on overwhelming opponents through exponential token generation upgraded by anthem effects like Cathars' Crusade and Divine Visitation, with backup protection spells and board wipes. While powerful in established boards, it lacks infinite combos and has inherent mono-white constraints.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
Deploy Ojer Taq by T5-6 using 30 Plains and ramp like Sol Ring/Land Tax. Activate token engines (Adeline/Myrel) to create 6-12+ tokens per trigger through tripling/doubling. Convert tokens into Angels via Divine Visitation or buff them with Cathars' Crusade. Protect board states with Teferi's Protection and Akroma's Will. Win through combat overrun or Halo Fountain token count victory.

Key Lines:

  1. T3 Smothering Tithe → T4 Ojer Taq → T5 Myrel, Shield of Argive attack = 12 Soldiers (3 base × 4 from Ojer + Anointed/Mondrak)
  2. Helm of the Host on Adeline creates non-legend copies multiplying token production each combat
  3. Finale of Glory X=10 with Ojer Taq creates 30 Angels (10×3)

Mulligan Priorities:

  • Keep hands with 3 lands + 1 ramp (Sol Ring/Pearl Medallion)
  • Prioritize early token engines (Brimaz/Oketra's Monument) over reactive spells
  • Avoid hands relying solely on 5+ CMC enchantments without protection

Critical Interactions:

  • Mondrak + Anointed Procession quadruples tokens independently of Ojer Taq's tripling
  • Rootborn Defenses both protects tokens and populates key creatures like Angel tokens
  • Song of the Worldsoul turns every spell into token duplication

Weaknesses:

Critical:

  • Relies on 3-4 key enchantments (Ojer Taq/Anointed/Mondrak) with limited tutor protection
  • Struggles against Torpor Orb/Hushbringer shutting off token ETBs

Moderate:

  • Slow recovery from board wipes without immediate Faith's Reward effects
  • Minimal card draw beyond Halo Fountain

Minor:

  • Vulnerable to land destruction targeting Nykthos/Emeria

Most Important Cards:

  • Anointed Procession
  • Mondrak, Glory Dominus
  • Divine Visitation
  • Cathars' Crusade
  • Smothering Tithe
  • Teferi's Protection
  • Akroma's Will
  • Myrel, Shield of Argive
  • Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
  • Felidar Retreat

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can establish lethal boards by T8-9 through exponential token math. No T4-5 wins but accelerates faster than typical precon decks.

Resilience: 5/10
Multiple protection spells and indestructible sources, but critical reliance on 3-4 enchantments makes it vulnerable to focused removal.

Consistency: 7/10
30 Plains + 10 ramp pieces ensure land drops, while redundant token engines (8+ creators) provide multiple angles. Lacks tutors for key doublers.

Interaction: 4/10
Relies on board wipes (Vanquish the Horde) and combat tricks over targeted removal. Limited stack interaction beyond Flawless Maneuver.

Rating Justification:

This deck exceeds precon-level synergy (4.0) through explosive token math and protection packages but lacks cEDH-speed combos or free interaction. It sits between Optimized Casual (5.0) and Focused (6.0), consistently threatening T8-10 wins but folding to early stax. Key strengths mirror 5.5 decks, but mono-white constraints prevent higher tiers.

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
