Deck Notes
I’m going to be a little biased here, as I run a similar deck myself, but I LOVE Spirit/Enchantment shenanigans. Selesnya is king of token production, then making your tiny tokens into big threats, and that’s just what this deck does. Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr is the queen of this deck, starting out as a big beater with flying and lifelink that makes ANOTHER creature even worse if the opponent manages to kill her off. Add all the Sagas and creature generation and you’ve got a deck that will overwhelm the enemy faster than they can say, “How many creature tokens do you have again?”
