Creature (1)

Instant (1)


This deck wants to make a token army, and then make them huge with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest. It's not your average token army, however. I primary focus on creating eldrazi spawn and scions, as not only are they bodies to pump, but without any other help they can provide the sacrifices needed to trigger Mazirek.

In the early game I want to be creating some tokens. I don't need to assemble a huge army immediately, but I want to have a decent board state. It's all in preparation for playing Mazirek. With a small army in place already, I can immediately start to buff them once my commander is in play. My critical turn is characterized by this moment, and I'd put it around turn 4.5.

In the mid game I need to start being aggressive. Not only do I want to make my army more formidable, I need to start dealing damage before I get disrupted. Often the cards I'm playing are either creating more tokens, increasing the rate of growth, or otherwise buffing my team. I also want to keep on top of what my opponents are doing, and I have a strong suite of disruption for dealing with them.

In the late game I'm hopefully just pushing through the last damage I need. A repeated assault is common to wear everyone down, although sometimes it just ends with an overwhelmingly large army alpha striking.

The deck's weakness is that it's based on building up and army. If I'm wiped at an inopportune time, all my efforts could be wasted. I also lean on my Commander to be truly explosive, so keeping him out of play can really stunt me.
