Strategy
Toby, Beastie Befriender is a token generator that turns your board into an evasive flying force. You're leveraging the initial Beast token to jump-start your creature count, then flooding the board with additional token makers—anthem effects, sacrifice outlets, and token doublers all synergize beautifully. Once you hit four tokens, your whole squad gets flying, turning even modest creatures into aerial threats that bypass ground-based defense.
Your gameplan revolves around going wide while maintaining a backup plan through sacrifice synergies. Cards that create multiple tokens (like Bitterblossom or Doubling Season) accelerate your token count, while effects that grant anthem bonuses turn your aerial swarm into a legitimate threat. Include some creature sacrifice outlets and aristocrat payoffs so you're not entirely dependent on combat damage—aristocrat engines give you direct damage, card draw, or life gain as a secondary engine. Toby rewards you for doing what white tokens loves: making friends and attacking together.
