The Commander
Whenever Saint Traft and Rem Karolus becomes tapped, create a 1/1 red Human creature token if this is the first time this ability has resolved this turn. If it's the second time, create a 1/1 blue Spirit creature token with flying. If it's the third time, create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with flying.
Whenever you cast a spell that has convoke, untap Saint Traft and Rem Karolus.
Guide
Gameplan
You ladder your commander's tap trigger up to the 4/4 flying Angel each turn while leaning on convoke spells to untap him for repeated triggers. Early turns you cast cheap creatures and convoke spells to bank a token board, then chain taps (attacks, convoke, untappers) to flood with Humans, Spirits, and Angels. You close by going wide with anthems or assembling an untap loop that buries the table in tokens.
Strengths
- Generates value just by attacking or convoking, producing escalating token quality (1/1 to 4/4 flyer)
- Convoke untap clause turns your token board into mana that also refuels the commander
- Three-color RUW gives access to anthems, removal, card draw, and the best convoke spells
- Built-in evasive Angel and Spirit tokens pressure life totals quickly
- Cheap three-mana commander that's easy to recast and protect
Weaknesses
- Token strategy folds hard to board wipes like Blasphemous Act and Cyclonic Rift
- Relies on the commander being on the battlefield and surviving combat
- Convoke synergy is narrow—only spells with convoke untap him, limiting the support pool
- No native protection or evasion on the commander itself; easy removal target
- Can stall if you draw the wrong half (anthems with no bodies, or bodies with no payoff)
Key Cards
- Intruder Alarm — Each token you create untaps your commander, letting you re-tap him for more tokens and chain the ability if you have a free tap outlet.
- Chord of Calling — A flexible convoke tutor that untaps your commander and fetches combo pieces or threats at instant speed.
- Conclave Tribunal — Cheap convoke removal that untaps the commander while answering problem permanents.
- Venerated Loxodon — Convoke payoff that buffs your token swarm and untaps your commander on cast.
- Cathars' Crusade — Every token entering grows your whole board, turning the escalating tokens into a lethal army.
- Smothering Tithe — Token decks generate huge mana off opponents' draws to fuel more spells and protection.
Upgrade Path
Add reliable free tap outlets (cards that tap creatures at no cost) to pair with Intruder Alarm for a hard combo, then bolt on a payoff like Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge to win off infinite tokens. Tighten the convoke package (Chord of Calling, Conclave Tribunal, March of the Multitudes) and add protection like Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to survive wraths. Finally, upgrade the mana base with fast rocks and dual lands so you can deploy bodies and convoke spells on curve.
