I do need to look over my maybeboard and adjust the deck. It does occasionally whiff and not get token generators as soon as I'd like although it has gotten much more consistent since I first put it together. I'm just not sure what I'd take out to put more token generators in, and I thought I'd rounded up most of the great big flashy ones in Jeskai colors.
I really like how this deck plays in my group. We don't do infinite combos or really early turn wins like cEDH decks, and this has felt like a good compromise between combo and power level (especially without the extra turn/combat phase cards). Do you have any card suggestions/swaps?

More token producers would be good, especially on a stick. Cards like Monastery Mentor do double duty as a chump blocker and a token producer to help you get going in the early game. Jeskai Ascendancy could help you find your early threats as well as pump Narset or untap her after an attack.

Also with a fifth of your deck being instants and sorceries you should definitely include Sunforger! I count 12 valid targets for it.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion seems like it could play multiple roles here.

PIZZ_PAZZ Planeswalkers usually feel lackluster, but Elspeth is a perfect fit as you say. I will be on the lookout for a copy to enhance the token generation. Thanks for the suggestion!

How about an Ashnod's Altar ? With all the high converted mana cost cards, you may need that mana.

Lanzo493 Definitely worth consideration due to awkward Storm Herd s or the like in hand. I'll slip in a copy and try it out, thanks.

I have to ask:
- I can't seem to find a card that prevents your spells from being countered by it, so to me it seems you're going for getting your enchantments and planeswalkers out on the field before you reach it.
- I foresee a problem where you exile it and either have to cast it, or leave it in exile if you happen to get it too soon.
- Enlightened Tutor could totally save your life here as you can have it put into your hand, safe from Narset's effect until you're ready for it.
- Works with Sunforger too.
-
Mystical Tutor could also help.

I really like this deck idea. Very spicy.

FenrisBurgess, that is very valid criticism. My playgroup is not consistent in power level, so even though this list is not optimized with tutors to grab all the answers, Narset still becomes Archenemy (turn 3 Anointed Procession + Storm Herd off the top one time will do that haha). I have tried to keep the density of tutors that directly find me win conditions down. I like digging through my deck to find the River's Rebuke answer to my opponent's copies of Platinum Angel under Daretti.
Recently though I have moved and have not played as much, so maybe it is time to get to an LGS and consider Enlightened Tutor and similar depending on the meta. They could make the deck significantly more focused, though I'd have to stare at this for awhile to figure out what to cut. Thanks for the feedback and upvote!

Try Pentad Prism over Sphere of the Suns. It doesn't tap and you can remove both counters at once (only 2 drop mana rock that can get you 2 colored mana, granted once). Copy Artifact also doubles as a mana rock (or 2nd Strionic Resonator). For more ramp consider Crystal Vein and Generator Servant .
Feel free to check out my list for ideas. Upvotes on any of my decks are appreciated. Narset, American Beauty

Last_Laugh, Pentad Prism is definitely something this deck needs, not sure how I never came across it in the time I spent on this list! I run Generator Servant in my Neheb deck, but omit it here purely to keep Voltron status. I have considered Crystal Vein but never pulled the trigger, I think I will slot it in for a basic. Thanks for the feedback!

Np and ty for the upvotes.
Spectra Ward is typically iffy in Narset lists. It prevents you from getting more auras on her (granted you have a more reliable token supply for valid targets).
Does this list make enough tokens to alpha strike multiple players at once? If so, consider Mass Hysteria and/or Ashling's Prerogative . These may be a bit too ballsy outside of an extra turns/combat Narset because they haste your opponents stuff too though.

Bit out there cause this really reminded me of my Maelstrom Wanderer deck Epic goblin splosion. My biggest haymaker is definitely Mogg Infestation . Blow up the opponents board, or double your own tokens. Takes out the commander, but it is worth considering. :)

This deck looks pretty cool but it seems to be lacking in ways to create creatures/tokens. With only 11 token cards in the deck and 2 of them requiring you to already have creatures first it seems like you could get stuck without any creatures out at all. How does this deck play in person?
