Trostani, Selesnya's Voice 🍴🍞

Background

My playgroup has a house rule banning infinite combos. The power level is 5/10 or 6/10; we play premades, sidegraded premades and upgraded premades. Not a CEDH group.

This is my least powerful dual-colored deck, weaker than my Tatyova, Benthic Druid and Meren of Clan Nel Toth decks. It's probably inversely more fun to play with friends.

Strategy

Maek tokenz. Seriously though, this deck shouldn't be that hard to play. Unless you've got one of the five instants in this deck, just play cards. Eventually you want to keep to activate Trostani, Selesnya's Voice 's populate effect.

• Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter and Voice of Resurgence - Make / tokens. Populate these for big creatures.
• Doomed Artisan - Ha! HaHa! HAHAHA! If this hits the board just populate sculptures all day
• Prava of the Steel Legion - The +4 toughness translates to an additional 4 life gained for tokens created on your turn. It's also nice for a wide attack.
• Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn - Combos with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice to become a 4/4 the turn its played, and give even more benefits for putting creatures on the board (when Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is in play). Can reinforce your flying angel tokens.
• Master of the Wild Hunt - Makes wolves, can remove your opponents' things. 'Nuf said
• Tolsimir, Friend to Wolves - Also makes wolves and removes your opponents' things. The token can be populated, although it'll also have to be sacrificed due to the legend rule. That means the token should only be used to pick off creatures with toughness 2 or less, otherwise the token will die and thus can't be populated anymore. However assuming your opponent has creatures with 2 power or less, then as long as Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is in play, you can gain 6 life and kill a creature for .
• Garruk, Primal Hunter - He's in here for the card draw but his other effects synergize with this deck.
• Angelic Accord - Play this and then Trostani, Selesnya's Voice to immediately get a 4/4 angel. Then populate the angel on an opponent's turn to get a 2nd angel (4 life from Trostani, Selesnya's Voice 's lifegain effect, which triggers Angelic Accord , giving a 2nd angel on that turn). This turns into : Put two 4/4 angel tokens with flying into play and gain 8 life. Sounds pretty strong to me ;)
• Phyrexian Processor - If you can wait to play this card until you have mana, then you can spend all your life minus one and then immediately populate with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . This will put your life back at the amount it was before, and then every subsequent activation of Phyrexian Processor will net you an absurd amount of life (and those tokens can be populated!). Obviously exercise caution with this play as instant-speed removal could technically leave you at 1 life.
• Dusk / Dawn - It doesn't kill Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , and it can return Trostani, Selesnya's Voice from your graveyard to your hand, letting you avoid the commander penalty.
• Spear of Heliod - If you were holding up 3 mana for Trostani, Selesnya's Voice , now opponents will think you're holding up mana to destroy their creatures.

• Mimic Vat - Probably the best card in the deck. As of the time of writing this there are no ways to tutor it.

Wincons

Crested Sunmare - If Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is in play, you get the token on the same turn this is played. It says at the end of each turn, so you can easily get a 5/5 horse on your turn for playing other things, and then another 5/5 horse on an opponent's turn from populating at instant speed via Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . If this thing sticks for a few turns you should be able to go wide with 5/5 horses and attack for the win.

Herald of the Host - Myriad. It's a flying 4/4 with myriad. When the myriad token(s) come into play, populate at instant speed with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice . The populated tokens don't get exiled. Attack and populate this a few times and your opponent will be swarmed with 4/4 flying angels.

Giant Adephage - I couldn't resist throwing this in. Pretty self-explanatory. Probably not the greatest choice as it can only make a token and synergize with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice after it's successfully dealt damage to the opponent, making it no better in this deck than any other. Regardless, the tokens can be populated and this card can win games by itself.

Soul of Eternity - Play this to double your life. Encore it to double (1 opponent) or quadruple (2 opponents) your life. More importantly, unlike Serra Avatar , this card can make a token copy of itself (albeit for mana) which can be populated ad-nauseum (for a whopping mana). Also combos with Mimic Vat to double your life once per round of turns.

Rhys the Redeemed - Being able to double all your tokens for is a nice way to go wide and win. If the opponent can't kill Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or Rhys the Redeemed then the life gained by duplicating each token should sustain you until you can get enough tokens to swing for the win.

Missing Cards

- Lightning Greaves - Swapped for Brave the Elements - Blighted Woodland - swapped for Path of Ancestry

Maybeboard

Commander's Sphere - A very common rock for commander, but I wanted to keep my ramp spells at Armada Wurm - It's strong. Removed for Crested Sunmare as Crested Sunmare is superior assuming Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is in play. Angelic Ascension - Can target your own creature to get a 4/4 angel. Can follow-up with populate. Can do on opponent's end-step and unexpectedly swing for eight. Is a kill spell that can remove opponent's creature. Seance - Would be a great 2nd wind card to recuperate after a board wipe. Would also provide an easy way to "token-ize" nontoken creatures, opening up many opportunities for combos like Mimic Vat . Additionally it says you may create the token, meaning you can wait to use its effect until an opportune moment.
