Whenever Sally Pride attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
Guide
Gameplan
Sally Pride is a mono-white go-wide aggro commander: flood the board with cheap nontoken creatures, then cast Sally to double down with a pile of 2/2 Mutant tokens, and start swinging to pump your entire team with +1/+1 counters every combat. You snowball board presence quickly and end games with a wide, anthem-boosted alpha strike.
Strengths
- Massive board presence — Sally's ETB rewards a developed board with a token for every nontoken creature
- Repeatable team-wide pump that scales the whole board each attack, not just one creature
- Mono-white access to the best go-wide tools: anthems, equipment, and mass token makers
- Commander payoff is independent of casting cost — even after a wipe she rebuilds instantly if you have creatures
Weaknesses
- Extremely vulnerable to board wipes — your whole strategy lives on the battlefield
- Mono-white struggles with card advantage and ramp compared to other colors
- Sally's value depends on already having a board, so a clean wrath the turn before she lands neuters her ETB
- Slow against fast combo decks that ignore the board entirely
Key Cards
- Skullclamp — Turns your expendable 2/2 Mutant tokens and small creatures into a relentless card-draw engine.
- Cathars' Crusade — Stacks even more +1/+1 counters every time a creature enters, compounding with Sally's token flood and attack trigger.
- Intangible Virtue — Anthems your token-heavy board and pushes through wide attacks.
- Anointed Procession — Doubles Sally's ETB tokens and every other token you make for an explosive board.
- Heroic Intervention — Protects your fragile go-wide board from the wraths and removal that prey on it.
- Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite — A devastating anthem and opponent's-team shrinker that ends stalled boards in white.
Upgrade Path
Add efficient creature-light enablers that maximize token output (Anointed Procession, Doubling Season) and protect the board (Flawless Maneuver, Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention). Improve mono-white's weak spots with card draw (Skullclamp, Welcoming Vampire, Mentor of the Meek) and ramp (Smothering Tithe, Sol Ring, mana rocks). Cap it with a haymaker finisher such as Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede, or a quick proliferate package to convert board width into one-shot kills.
