My first EDH deck!

3 years later, this monster is what my brain-child turned into.

this is an EXTREMELY tutor-heavy token deck utilizing a wide boardstate with very high-impact utility creatures and artifacts/enchantments. I've turned solely towards token generators that give me value the minute they hit the field. i discovered this is particularly powerful with creature based generation hand in hand with Birthing Pod.

we've got the anthems you'd expect, Eldrazi Monument, Mirari's Wake, ect. nothing too out of the ordinary there.

something that IS a bit out of the norm is our use of Steelshaper's Gift and Stoneforge Mystic. they are here exclusively to grab Skullclamp. the card is just plain busted in this deck; allowing me to effectively draw 2 for 1 mana and not much else. paired with Birthing Pod, it's hard to lose from there.

on a side note Earthcraft + Squirrel Nest = infinite squirrels, which is both hilarious and terrifying.

to keep it short; this deck is very out of left field for most LGS metas, but it has won me several tournaments, and never placed lower than 3rd since i reworked it to its current state.

All suggestions, comments, and feedback are welcome! =D

Also, i have an altered commander, but have no idea how to get it on this page. anyone care to fill me in?

+1 for competitive tokens!
