Mana value4Rank#1,404
BuildCard details

The Commander

Ward {2} (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it unless that player pays {2}.)

If one or more tokens would be created under your control, twice that many of those tokens are created instead.

Guide

Gameplan

Adrix and Nev double every token you make, so you flood the board fast and convert that into overwhelming value or a lethal swing. Early turns ramp into the commander, then each token-maker—spells, creatures, and especially other doublers—creates exponential armies. You win by going wide, generating mana from token engines, or assembling token-fueled combos.

Strengths

  • Doubles ALL tokens, not just creatures (treasures, clues, copies, fabricate, etc.)
  • Ward 2 makes it resistant to cheap removal
  • Stacks multiplicatively with other token doublers like Doubling Season
  • Splashy and explosive value engine on a 4-mana body
  • Enables both go-wide and combo lines in flexible GU shell

Weaknesses

  • Heavily commander-dependent; useless without token producers in play
  • Board wipes punish the go-wide plan hard
  • Slow to close if the doubling engine is removed
  • GU lacks efficient interaction and direct removal
  • Can durdle without payoffs to convert wide boards into wins

Key Cards

  • Doubling Season — Stacks with the commander to quadruple token output and supercharge planeswalkers.
  • Parallel Lives — Another token doubler that multiplies with Adrix and Nev for exponential boards.
  • Second Harvest — Doubles your existing tokens, then Adrix and Nev doubles again for an explosive board.
  • Tendershoot Dryad — Makes a saproling every upkeep that becomes two, snowballing with Ascend anthem.
  • Scute Swarm — Each landfall copies it, and with doubling it grows your board geometrically.
  • Esika's Chariot — Crews and copies your best token, while its initial cats double on entry.

Upgrade Path

Add more multiplicative doublers (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession) so each token-maker explodes geometrically. Include protection like Heroic Intervention and Lightning Greaves to shield the commander and your board from wipes. Tighten the curve with fast ramp (Sol Ring, signets, Cultivate) and add a combo finish such as infinite-token loops or a reliable Craterhoof/Overwhelming Stampede payoff.

Archetypes

  • Tokens — The commander literally doubles every token, making go-wide the core strategy.
  • Combo — Token doublers plus mana-token engines enable infinite mana and creature loops.
  • Spellslinger — Copy-token spells and clue/treasure generation feed value in a UG draw shell.
  • Value/Midrange — Treasure, clue, and food doubling generates relentless card and mana advantage.
