Strategy
The Prydwen is a token-generating engine that rewards you for playing artifacts. Your gameplan is straightforward: assemble a critical mass of cheap artifacts, watch The Prydwen churn out 2/2 Knight tokens that pump themselves whenever artifacts enter, and swing for lethal with your growing aerial army. The tokens get a huge boost the turn they're created thanks to the triggered ability, so you're often looking at 4/4 fliers. This means you want to load up on low-cost artifact mana rocks, artifact creatures, and Equipment to keep the taps flowing.
Winning is about going wide and going over the top. Your tokens snowball naturally, and you'll generate so many that blocking becomes nearly impossible. With cards that create multiple artifacts per turn—like Emry or artifact token generators—you can create 4-6 tokens in a single rotation, overwhelming most tables. The Prydwen itself is a 6/6 flier, so it's doing real work too.
Keep your curve low and your artifact density high. Think mana dorks, signets, clue tokens, and Servo producers. White has excellent support for this strategy, especially in the artifact space.
