BuildCard details

The Commander

Menace

Whenever Izoni enters or attacks, you may collect evidence 4. If you do, create two 2/1 black and green Spider creature tokens with menace and reach.

Sacrifice four tokens: Surveil 2, then draw two cards. You gain 2 life.

Guide

Gameplan

Izoni floods the board with 2/1 Spiders by collecting evidence (exiling cards from your graveyard), then converts those tokens into cards and life with her sacrifice ability. You self-mill and dump creatures into the bin early, then loop tokens through Izoni and sacrifice outlets to grind out card advantage while building toward a wide, lethal swing or an aristocrats kill.

Strengths

  • Generates two evasive tokens every time Izoni enters OR attacks, giving repeatable board presence
  • Built-in card draw engine that turns excess tokens into cards and life
  • Loves graveyard fueling—self-mill makes collect evidence trivial and feeds reanimation
  • Golgari is the premier color pair for tokens, sacrifice synergies, and recursion

Weaknesses

  • Needs a full graveyard to collect evidence 4, so graveyard hate is crippling
  • Six mana and somewhat slow—does little the turn she lands without follow-up
  • No interaction in the command zone; reliant on the 99 for removal and protection
  • Token strategies fold to board wipes and Pyroclasm-style sweepers given 2/1 bodies

Key Cards

  • Skullclamp — Turns your fragile 2/1 Spiders into an explosive draw engine, refilling your graveyard for more evidence.
  • Zulaport Cutthroat — Converts every sacrificed token into direct damage, enabling an aristocrats win off Izoni's tokens.
  • Ashnod's Altar — Free sacrifice outlet that fuels Izoni's draw ability and ramps you toward recasting her.
  • Grist, the Hunger Tide — Another insect/token enabler that thrives in the same self-mill, sacrifice-heavy shell.
  • Eternal Witness — Recurs key spells from the graveyard and provides recursion redundancy alongside Izoni's evidence engine.
  • Mesmeric Orb — Aggressively fills your graveyard each turn so collect evidence 4 is always online.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and ramp (Sol Ring, Cabal Coffers, Deathrite Shaman) to deploy Izoni ahead of curve and recast her after wipes. Lean into a tight aristocrats combo package with Blood Artist effects, free sacrifice altars, and token doublers, plus efficient tutors like Diabolic Intent and Demonic Tutor to assemble the kill. Round out with graveyard-hate insurance and instant-speed protection so your engine doesn't get exiled mid-loop.

  • Tokens — Izoni reliably makes Spiders on entry and attack, supporting go-wide anthems and overrun finishers.
  • Graveyard Value — Self-mill and recursion fuel collect evidence while enabling reanimation of big threats.
