How this commander wants to play

Faramir is all about generating tokens while controlling the monarchy—a resource that triggers Faramir whenever a big legendary enters the battlefield. Your core game plan is to play high-impact legendary creatures (4+ mana value) to repeatedly become the monarch, then milk that status for a steady stream of soldier tokens each turn. You'll want a mix of legendary creatures that do something powerful when they enter and protect the monarchy, since opponents will be tempted to attack you to claim it. The deck wins by amassing a wide board of tokens for lethal damage while your legendary creatures apply pressure and value.
