Legendary Creature — Treefolk
Reach If a creature an opponent controls would die, exile it instead. When you do, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token. {G}, Sacrifice a Saproling: Nemata gets +2/+2 until end of turn. {1}{B}, Sacrifice two Saprolings: Draw a card.
“Turn opponent removal into Saproling tokens, then sacrifice them for value and lethal.”
Nemata, Primeval Warden is a token generator that punishes your opponents' creatures while building your own army. Every time an opponent's creature dies, you create a Saproling token instead—meaning you're turning their board wipes and removal into your resources. This sets up a powerful engine where you accumulate tokens while disrupting their plans, and you can sacrifice those Saprolings to pump Nemata into a evasive threat or draw extra cards.
The deck wants to survive early and leverage Nemata's token generation into a wide board. Use efficient blockers and ramp to set up your commander, then let their removal feed your token engine. You can pivot between a go-wide token swarm, turning Nemata into a large Voltron threat, or grinding value by converting Saprolings into cards. The combination of disruption, token generation, and card draw makes this a grindy midrange deck that punishes aggressive opponents while scaling into the late game.

Skip expensive tutors—use modal green ramp like Cultivate and Three Visits instead, and lean on free Saproling generators like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season proxies with budget alternatives like Teysa Karlov.
