Then, a year later, I rediscovered it, but I remade it as a nontoken sacrifice deck because of Ravos's recursion. After working with it for a while, I added Tymna for some draw because it needed it, but then eventually she became the commander and replaced Ravos, so then the sacrifice theme became defunct, so I changed it to token sacrifice. Then, because the deck still didn't work, I got an upgrade from the YouTuber 3/3 Elk, and he fixed my manabase and also moved my deck in a Staxy Aggro direction. I made a few changes to the deck to lean into it, and some of my friends gave suggestions (see "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bloodline Recollector // Ancestral Craving"}},{"insert":" and such), and here we are now.\n\nMy Commanders:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"I made this deck because Tymna and Tana form a nice combo together:\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tana, the Bloodsower"}},{"insert":"'s job: Attack a bunch and slowly amass an army + counters on her.\nTana wants: More protection, more evasion or counters on her, and more token ETB/LTB rewards.\n\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tymna the Weaver"}},{"insert":"'s job: Sit back and draw a bunch of cards using Tana's damage + saprolings.\nTymna wants: More chip damage each turn, more tokens, and more profitable combats.\n\nWhen combined, they make a nice little engine that goes as follows:\nTana Makes Saprolings --> Tymna Draws Cards --> Said Saprolings pump Tana and said cards protect her --> Tana makes more Saprolings.\n\nWincons:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThis deck usually wins in 4 ways:\n\nTana Commander Damage (Achieved with cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Legion Leadership // Legion Stronghold"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rosie Cotton of South Lane"}},{"insert":", or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Fallen Ideal"}},{"insert":")"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Go-Wide (With things like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Cathars' Crusade"}},{"insert":")"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Westvale Abbey // Ormendahl, Profane Prince"}},{"insert":" Post Boardwipe stuff"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Basking Broodscale"}},{"insert":" Combos (It can often win on turn 3 if you get it + something to the effect of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sadistic Glee"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rosie Cotton of South Lane"}},{"insert":" in your hand.)"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSome Extra Fun and Nice Stuff:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nIf you ever play "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Imperial Recruiter"}},{"insert":" or "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Recruiter of the Guard"}},{"insert":", be sure to use it to get "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd"}},{"insert":" first because with Phelia, you can flicker it each turn (that's the only reason why it's in the deck)."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"If anyone's wondering what my favorite card in this deck is, it's "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Augur of Autumn"}},{"insert":" because it gives me access to more lands early on in a game and lets me chain creature spells in the late game, which is pretty cool."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"More will be added"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSome cards not normally in these decks:"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Minas Morgul, Dark Fortress"}},{"insert":": It makes Tana unblockable!
