Davros, Dalek Creator

Davros is a damage-focused token generator that turns your opponents' pain into your advantage. The core idea is simple: ping your opponents for 3+ damage each turn, and Davros rewards you with Dalek tokens while forcing tough choices on damaged players. You're looking to build a deck that deals consistent, repeatable damage through various sources—burn spells, pinging effects, sacrifice outlets, or even just combat damage—then ride your growing army of Dalek tokens to victory.

The deck thrives on redundancy and flexibility. You want cheap damage sources that stack quickly: cards like Goblin Shock, Unholy Heat, or even utility creatures that ping when they enter or attack. Combine this with token doublers, sacrifice synergies, and card draw engines to turn a modest ping into overwhelming board presence. The villainous choice clause is gravy—you're either drawing cards to fuel more damage or disrupting opponents' hands, all while your menace creatures pressure the table.

Win conditions center on combat damage from your Dalek army, though you can also lean into aristocrats-style sacrifice loops if you include cards like Viscera Seer or Zulaport Cutthroat. The beauty of Davros is that he works well in a mid-range shell where you're actively pinging opponents while building a token army; you don't need a complex combo to win, just consistent pressure.
