Cadric, Soul Kindler

Cadric, Soul Kindler is your engine for duplicating legendary permanents and going wide with temporary copies. The core plan is to play legendary creatures and artifacts, then use Cadric's ability to clone them into hasty tokens that deal damage before sacrificing. Since the legend rule doesn't apply to your tokens, you can have multiple copies of the same legend in play simultaneously—creating explosive turns where a single legendary entry triggers multiple token copies. You're essentially doubling your threats on each legend you cast, which snowballs into commander damage, combat damage, or overwhelming your opponents with evasive bodies.

The deck wins by leveraging efficient legendaries with enters-the-battlefield triggers (ETB effects) or strong combat stats. Cards that double as draw engines, ramp, or removal become exponentially better when cloned. You'll want a mix of legendary creatures and legendary artifacts to maximize Cadric's triggers. The tempo is mid-range—you're ramping into impactful legends, cloning them for tempo advantage, then attacking before the tokens disappear. Some games you'll win via pure combat damage; others you'll win by chaining ETB effects into card advantage and card draw that fuels more threats.
