This deck is looking to consistently get value from Kambal on most (if not all) other players turns, then win through a combination of draining other players with token ETB triggers and chipping people down with a wide board of tokens and the subsequent LTB death triggers.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Playing the Deck:"},{"insert":"\n\nThis is a medium complexity deck, requiring you to pay attention to what the rest of the board is doing every turn to make sure you trigger Kambal on the first opponent token ETB every turn.\n\nThe ideal game plan is:\nAlways use mulligans, you even get a free one in Commander and 0 mana discard 7 then draw 7 would be the best card ever printed so use it!

We can do this a number of ways, from one sided board wipes to mass token ETB like Tombstone Stairwell, The War Games, Aliiance of Arms. and Inkshield With Kambal out and some combination of payoff and token doublers, cards like these can win the game on the spot. Alternatively, drain payoff like The Meathook Massacre and Elas Il Kor can win off of a board wipe, or force oppnenents not to attack us or risk taking 10-20 damage from the death triggers of our token blockers. Teysa Karlov not only makes our token armies even more dangerous, but also can quickly threaten lethal from a small board of blockers. We also have a solid protection and interaction package to stop game winning plays from our opponents, as well as being able to leverage the decks token gifting politically to keep the game state from getting out of control.
