The Council of Four

The Council of Four is a passive value engine that rewards table activity—every time any player draws a second card or casts a second spell in a turn, you get paid with cards or tokens. This makes it perfect for a multiplayer-focused, draw-go style deck that scales with the table's overall game speed. You're not the aggressor; instead, you sit back and accumulate resources while everyone else fights, then convert that advantage into a late-game win.

Your core gameplan is to play The Council, protect it, then fill your deck with effects that trigger its abilities repeatedly. Cards that make players draw (like Howling Mine or Teferi's Agendum) and spells that encourage casting (Talrand, Sky Summoner effects) multiply your triggers. You'll generate tokens and card advantage faster than anyone expects, eventually overwhelming the table with Knight tokens or simply having a hand so large you can answer anything.

Wins come through token swarm—those 2/2 Knights add up fast over multiple turns—or by grinding out opponents with card advantage. The 0 power is deceiving; you're the threat by virtue of drawing and producing tokens, not by attacking. This is a classic "play small, win big" gameplan that rewards patience and political awareness at the table.
