This deck is made to be unusual but effective it has the Combo Of high mana cost creatures token production and exalted plus can be really fast right out of the gate (if played right and if lady luck is kind to you). I know what most of you are thinking Why add Exalted,token production and high mana costing power houses. The answer is simple this deck is meant to be played to play all three together in some sort of way. Example of one of the main combos I discovered First Play Sublime Archangel then play clone to copy her right there alone you have 4 instances of exalted then play Rafiq with that you then have 7 instances of exalted with three creatures. So with all the token production each token will have 2 instances of exalted as well as every other creature you have. An army of tokens can be very frightening but with 8/8 6/6 9/9 with two instances of exalted each you keep you opponent on your toes to where he doesn't know what your going to do next and if you luck out you can get those 6-9 drops by turn 3 or 4 becoming an automatic threat. Now heres the kicker to the main combo Play Knotvine paladin plus 1 plus 1 for every untapped creature plus all the exalted plus double strike from Rafiq you a power house. Know I know what your thinking thats a lot of cards and a lot of time ok I agree but thats a scenario for a game that your decimating . But heres the fun part you can do enough damage with the bare minimum and this deck play so many ways all quick . So what happens when things go sour for you Hello board wipes I have selected the board wipes carefully only 1 or two of them of for full on last resort clear the entire board most just kill all creatures enchantments stay hello parallel lives and Phyrexian rebirth two powerhouses in one board wipe not to mention primeval bounty or growing ranks right out of the gate after a board wipe your already re amassing an army. Like I said it unusual and I probably didn't give the best example. Let me give you a short summary shall I.

1. Exalted token- sublime Archangel wether you have 1 or 2 on the field can beef up creatures real quick when attacking and with tokes you have some to spare.

2. Speed and power- Play 9 drops far cheaper with elvish piper and quick silver amulet especially if they are used on Myojin of Lifes Web.

3. Horde - Create a horde of tokens of all shapes and sizes knowing Emmara Tandris is watching and protecting them

4. Mimic- Progenitor mimic has tons of cool and useful creatures to make tokens out of from sublime to Elderscale what ever you heart call you to.

Five . A fresh Start- the debate to board wipe when your in a bind is a thing of the past with Phyrexian rebirth get a token out with power and toughness equal to the casualties have nice enchantments supreme verdict creatures away and keep them bad boys to still keep a nice advantage. How ever there is always the time that that just doesn't cut it good old Planar cleansing is here to help

Please tell me What you think of the deck and what combos you see in Rafiq's Army. Please feel free to criticize the deck and if you must the description Its my first deck posting here I welcome all feedback the good the bad and the funny.
