Overview:
This Naya (RGW) deck helmed by Akroma, Vision of Ixidor and Tana, the Bloodsower focuses on keyword synergy and token swarms. Akroma amplifies the team's power by granting +1/+1 per keyword on each creature, while Tana generates Saproling tokens to enable wide strategies. The deck combines aggressive creature beats with anthem effects like Jetmir, Nexus of Revels and keyword-sharing via Odric, Lunarch Marshal. Key threats include Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Aurelia, the Warleader, and Akroma's Memorial, with a secondary plan of overwhelming value via The Great Henge and Toski, Bearer of Secrets.
Primer:
Core Strategy Execution:
- Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Prioritize ramping with Elvish Mystic, Farseek, or Three Visits. Deploy keyword-heavy creatures like Swiftblade Vindicator or Archetype of Aggression to start building Akroma’s buff potential. Use Tana to generate Saprolings when possible.
- Midgame Synergy (Turns 4-6): Cast Akroma and start stacking keyword synergies. Drop Odric, Lunarch Marshal to share keywords across the board or Jetmir, Nexus of Revels to turn tokens into lethal threats. Activate Rogue's Passage to ensure Tana connects.
- Finishers (Turns 6+): Deploy Akroma's Memorial or Aurelia, the Warleader for explosive combat phases. Use Boros Charm or Akroma's Will to protect the board or secure kills. Jetmir with 3+ creatures provides a game-ending alpha strike.
Mulligan Priorities:
- Keep hands with 2-3 lands (including green/white sources) and at least one ramp spell.
- Prioritize early creatures with keywords (e.g., Swiftblade Vindicator, Ohran Frostfang).
- Avoid hands lacking ramp or creature density.
Key Tips:
- Use Heroic Intervention or Boros Charm to protect against board wipes during critical turns.
- Odric, Lunarch Marshal turns Akroma’s keyword soup into universal evasion/damage boosts.
- Rogue's Passage ensures Tana connects for Saproling generation.
Weaknesses:
Critical
- Board wipes cripple the strategy, as recovery relies heavily on rebuilding from hand.
- Key piece removal: Losing Akroma/Jetmir/Odric significantly slows the deck’s momentum.
Moderate
- Artifact/Enchantment hate: The Great Henge, Rhythm of the Wild, and Akroma's Memorial are pivotal and vulnerable.
- Flying/evasion threats: Limited reach outside of shared keywords.
Minor
- Graveyard recursion: Minimal recursion outside Eternal Witness-like effects.
- Slow starts: Tapped lands (e.g., Temples) delay early aggression.
Most Important Cards:
- Jetmir, Nexus of Revels (Anthem finisher for tokens)
- Akroma's Memorial (Universal keyword buff + evasion)
- The Great Henge (Card draw + cost reduction)
- Aurelia, the Warleader (Extra combats)
- Odric, Lunarch Marshal (Keyword sharing)
- Boros Charm (Protection/lethal double strike)
- Akroma's Will (Protection + lifelink/deathtouch swing)
- Toski, Bearer of Secrets (Card draw engine)
- Zetalpa, Primal Dawn (Keyword-heavy beater)
- Rhythm of the Wild (Haste + anti-counter protection)
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 6/10
- Can threaten lethal via combat around turns 6-8 with optimal draws but lacks fast combo potential.
Resilience: 5/10
- Limited protection beyond a few key spells; struggles to rebuild after wipes.
Consistency: 7/10
- Solid ramp and card draw (Beast Whisperer, Toski) ensure steady access to threats.
Interaction: 5/10
- Efficient single-target removal (Swords to Plowshares, Beast Within) but minimal stack interaction.
Rating Justification:
This deck operates as a focused midrange combat strategy with strong synergy but lacks the speed or resilience of higher-tier decks. Its T6-8 win potential and reliance on creature-based combat place it in the Optimized Casual tier, slightly above precons but below high-power lists.
Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
