Overview:

This Naya tokens deck helmed by Ghired, Mirror of the Wilds focuses on explosive token multiplication through copy effects and doubling synergies. The strategy revolves around creating high-value creature tokens (often with ETB/death triggers) and using Ghired's ability to create additional copies of them each turn. Key themes include token doubling (Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Parallel Lives), creature-based value engines (Ohran Frostfang, Tribute to the World Tree), and overwhelming board states with anthem effects like Jetmir, Nexus of Revels or Warleader's Call. Ghired acts as both an enabler (granting copy abilities to creatures) and a value multiplier, though the deck can function without him through standalone token generators like Gruff Triplets and Vaultborn Tyrant.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Prioritize ramp (Birds of Paradise, Cultivate) and token doublers (Parallel Lives, Mondrak). Use Rhythm of the Wild to grant haste to key creatures.
2. Token Generation (Turns 3-6): Deploy engines like Gruff Triplets, Vaultborn Tyrant, or Seedborn Muse. Activate Ghired's copy ability via creatures like Drumbellower or Village Bell-Ringer to duplicate tokens.
3. Overwhelm (Turns 5-8): Flood the board with tokens, then cast Jetmir, Nexus of Revels or Second Harvest for lethal combat damage. Use Impact Tremors or Terror of the Peaks for passive damage.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands and at least one ramp spell.
• Prioritize early token doublers or engines like Tribute to the World Tree.
• Avoid hands without green mana sources or high-CMC clumps.

Key Tips:

• Use Helm of the Host on Ghired to create nonlegendary copies that exponentially increase token output.
• Eternal Witness can recur critical sorceries like Farewell or Second Harvest.
• Drumbellower enables Ghired's tap ability during opponents' turns.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Board Wipe Vulnerability: Relies on maintaining a critical mass of tokens; Farewell or Austere Command can erase progress.
• Anti-Token Hate: Cursed Totem/Torpor Orb disable key abilities; Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite cripples token generation.

Moderate

• Commander Dependency: Ghired removal slows token copying, though the deck has backup generators.
• Artifact/Enchantment Reliance: Parallel Lives/Mondrak are prime removal targets.

Minor

• Limited Stack Interaction: Few counterspells outside Deflecting Swat/Veil of Summer.
• Mana Intensity: High-CMC payoffs like Godsire risk clunkiness.

Most Important Cards:

• Mondrak, Glory Dominus (Token doubling)
• Jetmir, Nexus of Revels (Combat finisher)
• Parallel Lives (Token doubling)
• Seedborn Muse (Untap synergy with Ghired)
• Second Harvest (Token burst)
• Gruff Triplets (Self-replicating threat)
• Rhythm of the Wild (Haste enabler)
• Heroic Intervention (Board protection)
• Impact Tremors (Alternate wincon)
• Worldly Tutor (Key creature tutor)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can threaten wins via token swarms by turns 6-8, but lacks fast mana for earlier explosive plays.

Resilience: 5/10
Moderate protection (Heroic Intervention, Flawless Maneuver) and recursion (Eternal Witness), but struggles against repeated wipes.

Consistency: 7/10
Strong tutors (Eladamri's Call, Worldly Tutor) and card draw (Ohran Frostfang, Elemental Bond) ensure key pieces are found.

Interaction: 4/10
Focused on protecting its own board (Veil of Summer, Swiftfoot Boots) with limited removal (Beast Within, Swords to Plowshares).

Rating Justification:

This deck demonstrates focused token synergy with strong consistency and midrange speed, capable of overwhelming tables by turns 7-8. While resilient to single-target removal, its vulnerability to board wipes and slower combo potential place it below optimized tiers.

Power level: 5.5 - 6.0
