Tweaking Naya Tokens
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 29, 2022, 6:02 p.m. by Triton
Recently put together a Naya token deck with Tana, the Bloodsower and Prava of the Steel Legion, and needed suggestions on what to cut for Angelic Exaltation and Chord of Calling. If there are any better suggestions than the former of the two, I'd love to hear them! The deck as-is struggles with starting up token generation I've noticed, is there anything I'm missing potentially to get a large army out?
Here's the deck in question:
Saprolings of the Steel Legion
Commander / EDH

bushido_man96 thank you! I’ll add more cards like it into the deck. I’ve definitely noticed as well the deck as-is doesn’t have much draw. I’ll cut your suggestions for some!

Dusk / Dawn could be a powerful addition. Dusk will often be a one-sided wipe, and Dawn will still be able to return a couple of creatures to your hand.

I'd cut Soul Warden and Ajani's Welcome. Incidental life gain is ok, but not great, and not really worth two slots in the deck unless they were benefiting you in some other way.
Looks like you need more card draw, otherwise you'll stall out too early. Keeper of Fables is pretty subpar. Collective Unconscious will draw you a ton of cards when you have your game plan going. I'd also recommend the courts, Court of Grace for sure, as it will produce more tokens for you. Court of Bounty is great for getting more land drops or creature drops, and Court of Ire can help you finish. You wouldn't necessarily need to have all three of them, but I think the white one really fits the theme of your deck.
A rather obscure card, but I find Kyren Negotiations to be a good way to use your creatures to punch for damage when you don't have advantageous attacks. Tap them for damage at the end of turn before yours, then untap and do your thing. This would pair nicely with Drumbellower.
