The Commander
Whenever you attack, you may pay 
and sacrifice an Aura attached to Three Dog. When you sacrifice an Aura this way, for each other attacking creature you control, create a token that's a copy of that Aura attached to that creature.
Guide
Gameplan
Suit up Three Dog with cheap, powerful Auras, then go wide so that on attack you pay , sacrifice an Aura, and copy it onto every other attacker. A single buff or evasion Aura instantly becomes a board-wide enchantment, turning a token swarm into a lethal alpha strike. You play a hybrid Auras-matter and tokens deck that wants both creatures and enchantments on the battlefield at once.
Strengths
- Turns one Aura into many copies, generating absurd value and explosive damage from a single card
- RW gives access to the best go-wide token producers and aggressive curve
- Copied Aura tokens dodge being two-for-one'd by removal since the original is sacrificed anyway
- Low mana value (3) commander that's easy to recast and protect with cheap Auras
Weaknesses
- Requires assembling both a board of creatures AND an Aura on the commander, making it vulnerable to disruption
- Board wipes and creature removal reset everything, and you over-commit to the board
- Aura-based strategies suffer hard from spot removal on Three Dog (card disadvantage)
- RW lacks card draw and ramp, so flooding out or running dry is common
- No native evasion or protection on the commander itself
Key Cards
- Ethereal Armor — Cheap Aura that scales with your enchantment count and copies onto every attacker for a massive board-wide pump.
- Sage's Reverie — Buffs based on Auras you control and draws cards when you cast Auras, fixing the deck's card disadvantage.
- Daybreak Coronet — Enormous stat boost with first strike, vigilance, and lifelink that gets stamped onto your whole team.
- All That Glitters — Cheap, explosive anthem-on-a-creature that copies wide for lethal swings.
- Sram, Senior Edificer — Draws a card every time you cast an Aura, the single best engine to keep your hand full.
- Generous Gift — Flexible white removal that keeps your aggressive plan clear of blockers and threats.
Upgrade Path
Prioritize cheap Auras with high impact and enchantress-style draw (Sram, Sage's Reverie, Setessan Champion) so you never run out of gas. Add token enablers and anthem effects to widen the board before the copy trigger, and include resilience like Sigarda's Aid, Hardened Scales-style scaling, and protective Auras to survive removal. Cut clunky single-target Auras for ones that pump or grant evasion, and add fast mana (Sol Ring, signets) plus a couple board-wipe insurance pieces.

Archetypes
- Auras / Enchantress — Three Dog rewards stacking cheap Auras and copying them across your team for value and damage.
- Tokens / Go-Wide — More attackers means more Aura copies, so flooding the board multiplies the payoff.
- Voltron — You can also just load Three Dog up and swing for commander damage while threatening to copy.
- Aggro — RW curves out fast and the copy trigger converts a board into a one-shot alpha strike.
