Overview:

This Naya tokens deck leverages Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds to create exponential token armies by copying tokens generated by creatures. The strategy revolves around deploying creatures that create tokens on entry (e.g., Ghired, Conclave Exile, Gruff Triplets), then using Ghired’s ability to copy those tokens repeatedly. Secondary win conditions include combat overkill via Jetmir, Nexus of Revels, damage triggers from Purphoros, God of the Forge/Impact Tremors, and the Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer infinite combo. The deck uses token doublers like Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus to amplify its board presence, supported by efficient tutors and protection spells.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Prioritize ramp (Llanowar Elves, Three Visits, Smothering Tithe) and value engines like Sylvan Library or Tribute to the World Tree. Deploy token generators such as Gala Greeters or Eternal Witness.
2. Midgame Engine (Turns 4-6): Cast Ghired or other key token producers (Ghired, Conclave Exile, Ghalta and Mavren). Use Ghired’s ability to copy tokens each turn. Populate with Second Harvest or attack triggers.
3. Win Conditions (Turns 5-8):
   • Combat: Overwhelm with tokens boosted by Jetmir, Nexus of Revels or Neyali, Suns' Vanguard.
   • Infinite Combos: Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Village Bell-Ringer for infinite hasty tokens.
   • Burn: Stack Purphoros, God of the Forge, Impact Tremors, and Terror of the Peaks triggers.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands, at least one ramp spell, and a token generator or tutor.
• Prioritize early interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Veil of Summer) in removal-heavy metas.
• Avoid hands lacking ramp or token engines.

Key Tips:

• Use Aura Shards to control artifacts/enchantments while building your board.
• Seedborn Muse + Drumbellower untap your creatures during opponents’ turns for multiple Ghired activations.
• Sacrifice tokens to Skullclamp for card draw. Protect key pieces with Heroic Intervention or Teferi's Protection.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Board Wipes: Farewell or Austere Command can reset the deck’s token-based strategy with limited recovery tools.
• Anti-Token Tech: Torpor Orb nullifies ETB token generators; Cursed Totem disables Bloom Tender and Kiki-Jiki.

Moderate

• Combo Disruption: Removing Kiki-Jiki or Village Bell-Ringer stalls the infinite loop.
• Mana Reliance: Heavy dependence on dorks/artifacts makes it vulnerable to Collector Ouphe or Stony Silence.

Minor

• Graveyard Hate: Limited recursion (e.g., Eternal Witness) is disruptable but not critical.
• Fliers: Few evasion tools beyond trample, but token swarms can overwhelm.

Most Important Cards:

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker (Infinite combo enabler)
• Anointed Procession/Parallel Lives (Token doubling)
• Jetmir, Nexus of Revels (Combat finisher)
• Purphoros, God of the Forge (Burn wincon)
• Finale of Devastation (Tutor + overrun)
• Seedborn Muse (Untap engine)
• Mondrak, Glory Dominus (Token quadrupling)
• Teferi's Protection (Board protection)
• Ghired, Conclave Exile (Token generator + populate)
• Worldly Tutor (Consistency for key creatures)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can threaten wins via combat or combo by turns 6-8, with explosive starts enabled by token doublers and ramp.

Resilience: 5/10
Protection spells and recursion (Eternal Witness) mitigate disruption, but token strategies inherently struggle against repeated wipes.

Consistency: 7/10
Strong tutor density (Chord of Calling, Eladamri's Call) and card draw (Sylvan Library, Idol of Oblivion) ensure access to key pieces.

Interaction: 5/10
Targeted removal (Beast Within, Swords to Plowshares) and artifact/enchantment hate (Aura Shards) are present but lack stack interaction.

Rating Justification:

The deck’s focused token strategy and combo potential enable T6-8 wins, aligning with the "Focused" tier (6.0-6.5). While resilient to single-target removal, its vulnerability to board wipes and slower combo assembly compared to cEDH decks caps its ceiling.

Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
