Thalisse, Reverent Medium

Thalisse is a token-generating engine that rewards you for creating tokens throughout the turn. The core gameplan is straightforward: play token generators, watch them multiply via Thalisse's end-step trigger, then overwhelm opponents with an army of flying Spirits. Early game you'll ramp and set up token producers like Intangible Virtue or Bitterblossom. Mid-game, you're flooding the board with tokens and synergizing with sacrifice outlets or anthems. By late game, you've got so many tokens that combat damage becomes inevitable—and if not, you can leverage token sacrifice payoffs for direct damage or card draw.

The beauty of Thalisse is she plays well with both aristocrat strategies (sacrificing tokens for value) and wide-board strategies (pumping all your creatures). Cards like Zulaport Cutthroat, Impact Tremors, and Wayfaring Temple turn your token snowball into incremental damage. You'll want to include tutors, board wipes (to reset and rebuild), and protection for Thalisse herself since she's the engine. The deck can pivot between a slower grind game and explosive turns depending on what's in play.
