The plan is pretty simple: draw cards, make tokens, and let Bard make both of those things stupid. Most of the deck works fine without the commander, but once Bard hits the board every draw engine gets better and every token maker starts getting out of hand fast. There’s a small Recruit package because it fits the theme and happens to work really well with both sides of Bard. And then there’s Skullclamp. Turning one disposable 1/1 into four cards because Bard decided drawing two wasn’t enough is exactly the kind of nonsense I wanted this deck to do. The deck usually wins by going wide with a ridiculous number of tokens, then finishing with Akroma’s Will, Moonshaker Cavalry, Mirror Entity, or Starlight Spectacular. Basically, Bard tells the story, adds a few details, and somehow one Soldier turns into an army.
