Rith, the Awakener

Rith, the Awakener is a flying dragon that turns combat damage into explosive token generation. Every time Rith hits a player, you can pay {2}{G} to create a bunch of 1/1 Saproling tokens equal to the number of permanents of a chosen color. The deck wants to push Rith through early, enable repeatable damage (ideally multiple combat phases), and leverage color-heavy permanents—especially artifacts, enchantments, and mana rocks—to maximize token creation. You're essentially doubling down on color concentration to turn a single hit into a small army.

The core gameplan revolves around ramp and evasion. Get Rith out quickly via mana acceleration, protect it from removal, and connect in the air. Once you're generating tokens, they become a secondary win condition while Rith keeps dealing commander damage. You'll want cards that create many permanents of the same color, let you cast Rith multiple times, or give Rith extra combat phases to multiply your token triggers. The more colored permanents you control, the better each trigger becomes.

You win by either attacking with a flying 6/6 commander, overwhelming with Saproling tokens, or a combination of both. Some builds can pivot into sacrifice synergies or aristocrat effects to drain opponents while the tokens accumulate.
