Overview:
A token-focused deck led by Zinnia, Valley's Voice that aims to create numerous small creatures and leverage their presence for both aggressive combat and value generation. The strategy revolves around creating 1/1 tokens and using the commander's offspring ability to multiply threats.
Primer:
The deck wants to establish early ramp through mana rocks and begin deploying creatures that generate additional tokens. Use the offspring ability on key creatures to create valuable token copies. The deck can go wide with tokens while buffing them through various anthem effects and using evasive creatures to deal damage. Card draw is tied to combat damage and token generation, helping maintain hand size. The deck can pivot between aggressive token swarms and value-based grinding depending on the game state.
Weaknesses:
The deck is particularly vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal effects, as it relies heavily on maintaining a board presence. Token hate cards like Illness in the Ranks or Night of Souls' Betrayal can severely hamper the strategy. The mana base shows some inconsistency issues that could lead to color-screw situations.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual level with some focused elements but lacks the consistency and speed of higher-powered decks. While it can create impressive board states, it typically needs several turns to establish its engine and doesn't have enough protection or interaction to compete with more optimized strategies. The deck shows improvement over basic precons but falls short of truly focused builds. It can create explosive turns but is vulnerable to disruption and lacks reliable ways to close out games quickly.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
