BuildCard details

The Commander

When Siona enters, look at the top seven cards of your library. You may reveal an Aura card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

Whenever an Aura you control becomes attached to a creature you control, create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token.

Guide

Gameplan

Build a wide board by suiting up creatures with cheap Auras, generating a 1/1 Soldier token each time an Aura attaches. Snowball with token doublers and Aura recursion, then alpha strike or combo off with free-attaching Auras. Siona digs for your best Aura on entry, so you always have a Voltron payoff or a combo piece in hand.

Strengths

  • Generates immediate value and board presence by turning Auras into token engines
  • Combo potential with self-returning Auras for infinite tokens
  • Resilient go-wide plan backed by anthems and token doublers
  • Cheap three-mana commander that replaces itself with card selection on cast

Weaknesses

  • Vulnerable to board wipes that hit both creatures and Auras (two-for-ones)
  • Aura-heavy strategies risk catastrophic card disadvantage to spot removal
  • Lacks built-in evasion or interaction outside the white-green toolbox
  • Reliant on Siona or token doublers to make the Aura plan truly explosive

Key Cards

  • Calix, Guided by Fate — Copies your best enchantment and the token trigger fires repeatedly across attachments.
  • Shielded by Faith — Bouncing/reattaching it (with effects like flicker) or recurring it loops infinite Soldier tokens with Siona.
  • Anointed Procession — Doubles every Soldier token Siona makes, exponentially growing your board.
  • Ajani, Strength of the Pride — Lifegain payoff and a token anthem that pumps your wide Soldier board into a lethal swing.
  • Cathars' Crusade — Each token entering pumps your whole team, snowballing the go-wide plan out of control.
  • Sram, Senior Edificer — Draws a card for every Aura you cast, refueling the deck's biggest weakness.

Upgrade Path

Add an infinite token combo (Shielded by Faith plus a repeatable reattach/flicker outlet) and a finisher like Craterhoof Behemoth so the wide board converts immediately. Improve mana with fast rocks and untappers, and lean into Enchantress draw (Sram, Setessan Champion, Sythis) to offset Aura card disadvantage. Round out with protection like Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to survive the board wipes that punish Aura decks.

  • ▸Infinite tokens via a self-attaching Aura loop, then overrun or aristocrats
  • ▸Voltron beatdown with a single Aura-loaded evasive creature
  • ▸Cast Craterhoof Behemoth or Overwhelming Stampede to convert tokens into lethal

Archetypes

  • Auras Voltron — Siona digs for Auras and rewards stacking them, letting one creature carry the game while making tokens.
  • Tokens / Go-Wide — Every Aura attachment spawns a Soldier, pairing perfectly with anthems and token doublers.
  • Combo — Self-returning Auras like Shielded by Faith plus a free-attach outlet generate infinite tokens.
  • Enchantress — Aura-matters card draw engines like Sram and Setessan Champion keep the gas flowing.
