Deck Notes
Kiki-Jiki is back again to copy all the spells and deal all the damage. However, this time I think he’s there to generate some more tokens, not to get the finishing blow. That honor goes to the Chrome Host Seedshark, who drops deadly Phyrexian tokens whenever you cast a noncreature spell. You’ll overrun your opponent with spells and shells in no time.
