“I’ll put my usual disclaimer here about my decks. I’m not claiming these are the best decks in the world, they certainly are not top competitive decks. They are hopefully fun affordable (subjective I know) decks. I don’t try and keep to a target price point. I try and use as many cards in my collection as possible to keep my costs down. I proxy in expensive cards and produce them when I play. It helps keep costs down. I can’t afford multiple copies of expensive cards to put in decks. Commander is a casual format about having fun. And that is the ethos I hope I have when brewing the decks.”

Well here it is my Trostani – Selesnya (green/white) token spam deck, that was inspired by the card Divine Visitation. But before we go and look at the boring stuff, let’s just take a moment to take in the absolutely stunning art for the Commander.

I’ve managed to find just the art on the internet and here it is, Chase Stone’s incredible card art of Trostani Discordant.

The core tactic of this deck is to create lots of tokens, which we can hopefully can do with the likes of Anointed Procession, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives and Primal Vigor. Which if we are lucky can then turn into 4/4 Angel tokens when they trigger Divine Visitation.

There are blink/flicker effect cards in the deck to allow me to trigger that etb of Trostani, or any other creature I have with an etb I can miss use! If I can get Panharmonicon out and do all this, that etb triggers twice.

So I’d say this deck apart from being all about spamming out tokens, is a little combo like too. With the combo like behaviour being all around the generation of tokens.

Naturally there are also cards for generating tokens. The nice thing is there are a lot of mana abilities that can be used to generate tokens on creatures and lands.

I don’t have too many anthem effects, so that could be considered a weakness. So if we don’t have our inspiration for this deck out, the tokens generated at best will only get a +1/+1 from our Commander. I think iirc The Immortal Sun and Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite are my only other anthems. So they are potentially a bit vulnerable to the likes of a Goblin Chainwhirler or similar effect.

There is also a feeble attempt at tutoring with a couple of cards, along with card draw. Although a few of the non basic lands are cycle lands.

Finally there is plan B. Not much of a plan B. But still it’s a plan. And that is Approach of the Second Sun.

Let’s look at the graphics from the decked app.

I’m happy with the AMC, 4 or under is my target. So nicely under. But bloody hell when did some of these cards get so expensive? I will say this every time we look at that b.s. number that is apparently generated by prices on Card Kingdom. How are people meant to play this game? I for sure on the one or two cards I bought in specially for this deck did not pay anywhere near the prices listed above.
