How this commander wants to play

Tawnos is a creative artificer who wants you to build a token-focused artifact deck with graveyard synergies. Your main game plan is to generate artifact tokens (like Thopters, Servos, or Clues), then use Tawnos to copy them repeatedly while filling your graveyard. The milling triggers his second ability, which lets you reanimate creatures or artifacts from your yard as artifact tokens—turning your discard pile into a resource. You'll win by either swinging with a growing army of tokens or by assembling value loops that generate absurd amounts of mana, card advantage, or board presence.

Budget Build

Same gameplan, less money

Skip pricey token doublers like Doubling Season; use Parallel Lives or even budget options like Doubling Cube. Bulk out on cheap token generators like Bitterblossom and Talrand, Sky Summoner instead of flashy rares.
