Overview:

This Naya (RGW) deck helmed by Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds focuses on token duplication and combat swarm synergies, amplified by instant-speed token cloning effects. The commander enables nontoken creatures to copy any token that entered this turn, creating exponential value with cards like Witty Roastmaster and Terror of the Peaks. Secondary combos with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer and Splinter Twin provide alternate win routes. Ghired acts as a value multiplier but isn’t strictly essential, as the deck includes numerous standalone token engines like Fable of the Mirror-Breaker and Flameshadow Conjuring.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-3): Deploy mana dorks (Avacyn's Pilgrim, Birds of Paradise) and key token generators (Fable of the Mirror-Breaker, Agate Instigator). Use tutors (Worldly Tutor, Eladamri's Call) to find combo pieces or value engines.
2. Midgame Value (Turns 4-6): Resolve Ghired or hidden commanders like Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. Activate token multipliers (Feldon of the Third Path, Molten Duplication) to trigger damage-dealers like Terror of the Peaks. Protect key pieces with Heroic Intervention or Teferi's Protection.
3. Win Conditions:
   • Combat: Overwhelm with tokens buffed by Elspeth, Storm Slayer or Caretaker's Talent.
   • Infinite Combos: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer (untap loop) for infinite hasty tokens.
   • Burn: Stack Witty Roastmaster/Molten Gatekeeper triggers via token spam.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Prioritize hands with 2-3 lands, a ramp source, and at least one token generator or tutor.
• Keep hands with Concordant Crossroads or Rhythm of the Wild if combat-focused.
• Avoid hands lacking early plays or reliant solely on Ghired.

Key Tips:

• Use Gaea's Cradle and Growing Rites of Itlimoc to fuel explosive turns.
• Finale of Devastation can fetch Kiki-Jiki or Village Bell-Ringer for instant wins.
• Aura Shards and Terror of the Peaks double as interaction and win conditions.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Board wipes (Blasphemous Act, Farewell) annihilate token armies with limited recovery tools.
• Anti-token hate (Torpor Orb, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite) shuts down ETB damage and cloning.

Moderate

• Artifact/Enchantment removal disrupts Splinter Twin, Aura Shards, and Rhythm of the Wild.
• Graveyard reliance for Feldon of the Third Path and Eternal Witness is vulnerable to exile effects.

Minor

• Limited stack interaction beyond Boros Charm and Surge of Salvation.
• High dependency on resolving key noncreature permanents (enchantments/artifacts).

Most Important Cards:

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (Primary combo enabler)
• Terror of the Peaks (Burn wincon via token spam)
• Finale of Devastation (Tutor + Overrun effect)
• Splinter Twin (Alternate infinite token generator)
• Gaea's Cradle (Mana acceleration for token swarms)
• Fable of the Mirror-Breaker (Value engine + late-game combo piece)
• Concordant Crossroads (Enables alpha strikes)
• Heroic Intervention (Critical protection)
• Teferi's Protection (Board wipe evasion)
• Eladamri's Call (Tutor for combo pieces)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 7/10

• Can threaten infinite combos or lethal combat as early as T5 with optimal draws (e.g., T1 dork → T3 Kiki-Jiki + T4 Bell-Ringer).

Resilience: 5/10

• Limited recursion and protection beyond a few key cards; token strategies inherently fragile to wipes.

Consistency: 7/10

• Multiple tutors and card draw (Sylvan Library, Bennie Bracks, Zoologist) ensure access to combo pieces.

Interaction: 5/10

• Spot removal (Path to Exile, Angelic Ascension) and Aura Shards provide answers but lack countermagic.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at Focused power (T7-8 win potential) due to its efficient combo lines and strong ramp, but its reliance on combat and vulnerability to common interaction caps its ceiling. The inclusion of cEDH staples like Gaea's Cradle and tutors elevates it above casual builds, while the lack of free interaction and fragile board presence prevents higher-tier placement.

Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
