You stand ready to dictate the actions of your troops with Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Marneus Clagar prepared to follow you every command. But he's not alone... this build summons forth an legion of Astartes token creatures and 4 Lieutenant Planeswalkers, all set for action. Do you have what it takes to decimate the enemy? Can you call out your troops quickly and efficiently? Can you seize the day and win it all? Onward to victory!

I kept the foundation of the original pre-con and only added some extra seasoning to make things more token focused. Also, don't usually design decks with infinite combos but this one just happened to put itself together with two that I've incorporated, after some research.

Combo 1: Marneus Calgar + Ashnod's Altar + Pitiless Plunderer = Infinite card draw. Infinite draw triggers. Near-infinite death triggers. Near-infinite ETB. Near-infinite LTB. Near-infinite sacrifice triggers.

Marneus Calgar must be on the battlefield. Ashnod's Altar must be on the battlefield. Pitiless Plunderer must be on the battlefield. Mana needed: 6

• Activate Marneus by paying 6, creating two 2/2 Astartes Warrior creature tokens.
• The tokens enter the battlefield, triggering Marneus, causing you to draw a card.
• Activate Ashnod's Altar two times by sacrificing the Astartes Warriors, adding 4 colorless.
• The Astartes Warriors die, triggering Pitiless Plunderer twice, creating two Treasure tokens.
• The Treasures enter the battlefield, triggering Marneus, causing you to draw a card.
• Activate the two Treasure tokens by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 2.
• Repeat.

Combo 2: Marneus Calgar + Nadir Kraken + Ashnod's Altar = Infinite card draw. Infinite draw triggers. Near-infinite +1/+1 counters on Nadir Kraken. Near-infinite colorless mana. Near-infinite creature tokens. Near-infinite death triggers. Near-infinite ETB. Near-infinite LTB. Near-infinite sacrifice triggers.

Marneus Calgar must be on the battlefield. Nadir Kraken must be on the battlefield. Ashnod's Altar must be on the battlefield. You have a way to draw a card. Mana needed: 1

• Draw a card.
• Nadir Kraken triggers, causing you to pay 1 to put a +1/+1 counter on it and create a 1/1 Tentacle creature token.
• The Tentacle enters the battlefield, triggering Marneus.
• Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the Tentacle, adding 2 colorless.
• Resolve the Marneus trigger, causing you to draw a card.
• Repeat from step 2.

Attack strategies are welcome!
