{"ops":[{"insert":"When I saw Izoni worked off of any token, I thought that meant I had to do what my brain always does and make an artifact based deck out of it somehow, and in BG that means FOOD. Izoni is a token generator and draw engine for late game, operating as a guaranteed pay-off rather than a card to turbo towards. \n\nMy case for Izoni as a food commander is the following:\nShe produces a massive board by herself. Her spiders innately make your deck well equipped against flying, or can get in with their evasion. They also can become cards if needed."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"0 MANA SAC OUTLET AT INSTANT SPEED. Any drain effect on board lets you sit back with a bomb ready to detonate at any time. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Card draw! Izoni fuels herself while digging really well, and probably gets through the most cards in your deck that any similar sac outlet does. (I'd have to double check, but 4 cards deep for 4 tokens is actually a pretty good rate! You certainly won't find 0 mana draw 1 from sacrificing 1.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Her life gain is actually quite helpful! You get a good bit of sustain from it. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The main problems she has:\nFor a food deck, she, uh, doesn't exactly MAKE food or list food in her text. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"She's real expensive. Mana wise, to clarify, she's a straight bulk rare. The good news is that she's not actually great to turbo out; she gets much better if you already set up your board to be able to draw, and you REALLY need your graveyard set up to hit at least MV4 for her etb. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThe main game plan is to get set up and drain your opponents out (aka yeah, combo). You may go infinite, but sometimes you just create such a comical number of tokens that everyone dies (20 damage is not rare). \nPeregrin Took is needed for several infinites. He does so with Confectioner, Summoning Station, and Vending Machine. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Gourmand's Talent and Vending Machine give infinite sacrifice fodder during your turn. Izoni is generally gonna be your outlet for this. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Sakura Tribe Elder, Tireless Provisioner, and Hazel's Brewmaster find all of your basic lands. (Exile Sakura from grave to Brewmaster, now each food you play searches for a basic on sac.) "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Umbral Collar serves as \"just in case\" button to make sure we actually go full infinite (since every other sac outlet in this deck draws cards). It's also a \"backup\" for Izoni, since getting her back out when she dies is really difficult."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nWe number a LOT of token generation, because we need it! We have a couple burst effects like Giant Opportunity and Killer Service, but generally we're looking for effects that make 1/turn. This makes any effect that \"doubles\" that really strong! Effects that trigger off of sacrifices also effectively double tokens for our deck, since Izoni doesn't NEED to sacrifice only food; she's content also churning through rats, pincers, or tapped treasures (though it CAN matter for our drain effects; just be aware Marionette Master is artifacts only). \n\nYou may notice a complete lack of mana rocks, and that's because THEY SUCK HERE. We actually don't want rocks that stay in play, because we need cards with a mana value in grave! Thus, instead we're running a bunch of \"Rampant Growths\" and \"Harrows\". Why Harrow? Because lands in grave are helpful! We're running Icetill, Analyst, and Lluwen to take advantage, partly because as we draw with Izoni we're likely to begin milling a bunch of lands, and running this kind of package is low cost to us. Harrow plus our search lands effects are also good for our landfall on Tireless Provision and Tracker. \n\nAnother kind of card that's prime Izoni fuel is removal spells. I'd actually like to get some more of the \"free\" or \"discounted\" ones in here, because a lotta them are actually 4 mana! (Like Snuff Out and Pile On.) Otherwise were just running some of the most efficient ones we can get. A couple notables are Herald of Perfection and Arcbound Condor, who can convert tokens into kill spells. Condor is of more interest, as at worst it gets rid of 1-toughness utility, and at best it WIPES fields. Herald is just funny to improvise out as a big dumb guy. \n\nWe're running a few tutors. Formidable Speaker both sets up graveyard for Izoni and can grab a generator or drain effect. Demonic Tutor is, uh, just good (and I own it). Fountain has a few good targets; Bootlegger's produces a TON of tokens, Summoning Station makes a lotta guys, and Academy Manufacturer is broken. Its effect isn't too difficult to get since we often have at least food and treasure in play. Beseech finds pretty much whatever combo piece you may be missing, or it can grab a Toxic Deluge in an emergency. \n\nOur drain choices are all the ones available for artifacts/tokens that hit all opponents (or deal equivalent damage). These are our win cons, so if you have Izoni out and a field of artifacts you better start digging. You can also manage some big swings with Pippin, Lluwen, Obsessive Pursuit, or Secluded Starforge. \n\nI play this deck a lot IRL and I have a blast. I will note that while I get plenty of wins, I also play with randoms at my local game stores, meaning I don't have a playgroup to call me out for my lack of protection. \n\n\n\n"}]}

Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"When I saw Izoni worked off of any token, I thought that meant I had to do what my brain always does and make an artifact based deck out of it somehow, and in BG that means FOOD. Izoni is a token generator and draw engine for late game, operating as a guaranteed pay-off rather than a card to turbo towards. \n\nMy case for Izoni as a food commander is the following:\nShe produces a massive board by herself. Her spiders innately make your deck well equipped against flying, or can get in with their evasion. They also can become cards if needed."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"0 MANA SAC OUTLET AT INSTANT SPEED. Any drain effect on board lets you sit back with a bomb ready to detonate at any time. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Card draw! Izoni fuels herself while digging really well, and probably gets through the most cards in your deck that any similar sac outlet does. (I'd have to double check, but 4 cards deep for 4 tokens is actually a pretty good rate! You certainly won't find 0 mana draw 1 from sacrificing 1.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Her life gain is actually quite helpful! You get a good bit of sustain from it. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The main problems she has:\nFor a food deck, she, uh, doesn't exactly MAKE food or list food in her text. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"She's real expensive. Mana wise, to clarify, she's a straight bulk rare. The good news is that she's not actually great to turbo out; she gets much better if you already set up your board to be able to draw, and you REALLY need your graveyard set up to hit at least MV4 for her etb. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThe main game plan is to get set up and drain your opponents out (aka yeah, combo). You may go infinite, but sometimes you just create such a comical number of tokens that everyone dies (20 damage is not rare). \nPeregrin Took is needed for several infinites. He does so with Confectioner, Summoning Station, and Vending Machine. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Gourmand's Talent and Vending Machine give infinite sacrifice fodder during your turn. Izoni is generally gonna be your outlet for this. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Sakura Tribe Elder, Tireless Provisioner, and Hazel's Brewmaster find all of your basic lands. (Exile Sakura from grave to Brewmaster, now each food you play searches for a basic on sac.) "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Umbral Collar serves as \"just in case\" button to make sure we actually go full infinite (since every other sac outlet in this deck draws cards). It's also a \"backup\" for Izoni, since getting her back out when she dies is really difficult."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nWe number a LOT of token generation, because we need it! We have a couple burst effects like Giant Opportunity and Killer Service, but generally we're looking for effects that make 1/turn. This makes any effect that \"doubles\" that really strong! Effects that trigger off of sacrifices also effectively double tokens for our deck, since Izoni doesn't NEED to sacrifice only food; she's content also churning through rats, pincers, or tapped treasures (though it CAN matter for our drain effects; just be aware Marionette Master is artifacts only). \n\nYou may notice a complete lack of mana rocks, and that's because THEY SUCK HERE. We actually don't want rocks that stay in play, because we need cards with a mana value in grave! Thus, instead we're running a bunch of \"Rampant Growths\" and \"Harrows\". Why Harrow? Because lands in grave are helpful! We're running Icetill, Analyst, and Lluwen to take advantage, partly because as we draw with Izoni we're likely to begin milling a bunch of lands, and running this kind of package is low cost to us. Harrow plus our search lands effects are also good for our landfall on Tireless Provision and Tracker. \n\nAnother kind of card that's prime Izoni fuel is removal spells. I'd actually like to get some more of the \"free\" or \"discounted\" ones in here, because a lotta them are actually 4 mana! (Like Snuff Out and Pile On.) Otherwise were just running some of the most efficient ones we can get. A couple notables are Herald of Perfection and Arcbound Condor, who can convert tokens into kill spells. Condor is of more interest, as at worst it gets rid of 1-toughness utility, and at best it WIPES fields. Herald is just funny to improvise out as a big dumb guy. \n\nWe're running a few tutors. Formidable Speaker both sets up graveyard for Izoni and can grab a generator or drain effect. Demonic Tutor is, uh, just good (and I own it). Fountain has a few good targets; Bootlegger's produces a TON of tokens, Summoning Station makes a lotta guys, and Academy Manufacturer is broken. Its effect isn't too difficult to get since we often have at least food and treasure in play. Beseech finds pretty much whatever combo piece you may be missing, or it can grab a Toxic Deluge in an emergency. \n\nOur drain choices are all the ones available for artifacts/tokens that hit all opponents (or deal equivalent damage). These are our win cons, so if you have Izoni out and a field of artifacts you better start digging. You can also manage some big swings with Pippin, Lluwen, Obsessive Pursuit, or Secluded Starforge. \n\nI play this deck a lot IRL and I have a blast. I will note that while I get plenty of wins, I also play with randoms at my local game stores, meaning I don't have a playgroup to call me out for my lack of protection. \n\n\n\n"}]}
