Halana, Kessig Ranger & Sakashima of a Thousand Faces
Halana & Sakashima
Approximate Total Cost:
Introduction to the deck
This deck usually wins by either generating a bunch of tokens, such as by using Tendershoot Dryad with some copy effects, or a few copies of some larger creatures like Kogla, the Titan Ape.
Fynn, the Fangbearer is a rather scary card in this deck due to the quantities of deathtouch creatures combined with the potential to have multiple copies of Fynn.
Faerie Artisans is a pretty great card with Halana, essentially allowing you to kill any enemy creature that comes into play if you have mana open and the creature has power equal to or greater than it's own toughness. In practice, this will generally stall out some opponents if you can keep some mana open. Faerie Artisans also have some great synergy with blink effects, allowing you to keep your tokens they make permanently.
Cards like Conjurer's Closet and Deadeye Navigator let you repeatedly have creatures come into play to utilize Halana's ability, which is especially useful with deathtouch creatures. There are a healthy amount of other ETB creatures that take advantage of these blink engines as well.
More Cards Under Consideration
Doubling Season - I don't know if I actually have enough token generation stuff to completely take advantage of this. It is certainly a great card but I don't know if it would be totally worth it in this deck as it stands now. I may have to lean more into tokens as I'm not currently all-in on that direction. However, I may already have enough token stuff in the deck when combining them with blinking and cloning effects though.
Koma, Cosmos Serpent - This card is pretty amazing under normal circumstances but in this deck the ability to get multiples in play could make things get absurd quickly. I have a copy set aside but I haven't tried it yet.
