Genku, Future Shaper

Gameplan

Genku turns your nontoken permanents leaving the battlefield into a steady stream of tokens—up to three per turn (a vigilant Fox, a flying Moonfolk, and a lifelinking Rat). You churn permanents with blink, bounce, sacrifice, and fetch-style effects to flood the board, then activate Genku's pump to turn that wide board into a lethal anthem-style attack.

Key Cards

• Brago, King Eternal — Mass-blinking your nontoken permanents each combat triggers Genku repeatedly for waves of tokens.
• Conjurer's Closet — Reliable end-of-turn blink keeps the Genku triggers flowing every turn for free.
• Eldrazi Displacer — Repeatable, on-demand blink outlet that both protects permanents and fuels token generation.
• Restoration Angel — Flash blink that protects a key permanent while netting a Genku token in response to removal.
• Cloudstone Curio — Bouncing your own nonland permanents repeatedly chains Genku triggers and can go infinite with the right pieces.
• Intangible Virtue — Anthem effect that turns your growing token army into a faster clock alongside Genku's activation.
• Smothering Tithe — Generates the heavy mana you need to spam Genku's pump and cast blink enablers.

Upgrade Path

Add more free or cheap repeatable blink and self-bounce outlets (Conjurer's Closet, Cloudstone Curio, Eldrazi Displacer) so every turn reliably hits the three-token cap, and lean into mana rocks plus Smothering Tithe to fund repeated pump activations. Include strong anthems (Intangible Virtue, Anointed Procession effects don't multiply tokens but pumps do) and a couple of protective counterspells to shield Genku. To push toward cEDH-adjacent power, build around Cloudstone Curio bounce loops or Brago lock pieces to convert the token engine into a decisive, fast finish.
