Strategy
Elder Arthur Maxson turns your creature tokens into growing engines with training, rewarding you for wide boards and attacking with varied power levels. The core gameplan is to generate tokens quickly—through effects like Bitterblossom, Spectral Procession, or token doublers—then swing in with multiple creatures to trigger training on your smaller tokens, building them into serious threats. Your tokens scale automatically while your commander provides a sacrifice outlet for protection or value, letting you cash in creatures when they're no longer needed or dodge removal. You're essentially playing a token aristocrat deck where your board naturally grows stronger every combat.
