Orthion, Hero of Lavabrink

Orthion is all about copying your best creatures repeatedly to generate value and overwhelming board presence. Your core gameplan is to build a deck full of impactful creatures—especially those with enter-the-battlefield effects or powerful abilities—then use Orthion to multiply them turn after turn. Each activation floods the board with hasty copies, letting you attack immediately while building toward a lethal swarm. The beauty is that even though the tokens sacrifice at end of step, you've already dealt damage and triggered any ETB effects, so you're generating pure value while Orthion itself becomes a repeatable threat engine.

You'll want creatures that really shine when copied: cards with ETB damage like Impact Tremors effects, creatures that make tokens themselves (which multiply exponentially when copied), or attackers that get better with go-wide strategies. Pair Orthion with cost-reduction effects and mana acceleration so you can activate him multiple times a game. The deck can pivot between aggressive early turns and a grinding midgame where you're copying the same creature every turn cycle to whittle opponents down or set up a huge turn where the five-copy ability takes over.
