Let's talk about tokens, y'all. I absolutely love them. In fact, tokens are probably one of my favorite themes to build in Commander. Support for tokens stem across all color identities, but none more than Selesnya! Whether it's Rhys the Redeemed or Kharis & the Beholder, Selesnya and tokens were made for one another. When I saw Maja, Bretagard Protector, my mind began to run with ideas. I knew I could take this deck and make something truly disgusting with it, especially given the fact that we had a Landfall-esque set recently released. It definitely seems that Maja is a contender for one of the stronger Legendaries printed recently.
But how can we take her from a simple ⅔ to a lean, mean, token-generating machine?
Maja, Bretagad Protector
Well, this deck's goal is very simple: play as many lands as we can to make tokens and swing big.
Karametra, God of the Harvests
Lands mean tokens in this deck. Whenever we play a land, Maja makes us a 1/1/ Human Warrior token, therefore we need as many land drops as possible to achieve maximum creature generation. One such way we can achieve multiple lands drops a turn is through ramp spells! Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are two go to's for such an occasion, allowing us to snag two basics and put one onto the battlefield tapped. Three Visits and Nature's Lore allow us to snag Forests while Into the North lets us grab a Snow land. Regardless, we put lands onto the battlefield even if we already played a land for turn. Hey, even a creature like Karametra, God of Harvests gives us the ability to snag more lands whenever we cast a creature! Pretty sweet, huh? These are only a few of the ramp spells that Green has to offer. But what about some of our more powerful pieces? Let's talk about Crop Rotation. The beauty of this ramp spell is that it allows us to snag any land. That means Rogue's Passage, Field of the Dead, and Thespian's Stage are all at our fingertips!
Ramp isn't the only way for us to cheat our more lands in Maja. 'Extra land per turn' cards are a bit pricey but well worth the investment. Azusa, Lost But Seeking, Exploration, and Oracle of Mul Daya allow us to add a little spice to our decks and really ramp up the...well, ramp!
'But Chase! There's still some land specific cards in this deck you haven't covered yet!"
My darling deckbuilder, we've only just begun. Lands aren't always limited to just what we see on the battlefield.
Whenever I think graveyards and lands, I think about the Gitrog Monster. While I wish we were in Abzan colors, we can still have a fruitful interaction with our graveyard in Selesnya. In all fairness it all resides in Green. Ramunap Excavator and Crucible of Worlds are infamous cards in graveyard land decks, allowing us to play from our once tapped out resource (pun intended). However, if we are missing those pieces, casting a Splendid Reclamation is a great way to get all of our lands back, thus triggering Maja so many times our opponent's heads will spin!
'But Chase, how do we get our lands into our graveyard in the first place?'
Deckbuilder, you sure ask a lot of questions. That's what I like about you! Also, a very good question. In a deck where our creatures are vastly limited by the amount of lands we run, we will run out of resources sooner or later. In order to make our limited resources unlimited, we have to run sac outlets! One such notable outlet is Scapeshift. While this spell is once and done, it allows us to get the biggest bang for our buck in terms of lands in the yard. A recent addition to the sacrifice family is Elvish Reclaimer, allowing us to sacrifice a land to get a land. Either way, we get lands to play. However, it does cost us mana to achieve this exchange.
Thankfully, we do run sac outlets where the cost is 0! One such example is Sylvan Safekeeper, which allows us to protect Maja and some of our beefier beaters with the sacrifice of a land. Another free sac outlet is Zuran Orb. Just because a card is old doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, Zuran Orb is anything but. The beauty of this card is that it allows us to gain the life back we may lose with our fetch lands. We end up on top with our life total and end up on bottom with our graveyard full of lands. Either way, what bliss!

So we've talked about lands, how we get them, how we kill them, and how we get them back. However, that is only half of the deck. We still need to talk about our token strategy. Lands mean tokens, but 1/1's can only go so far. Of course we run our token doublers such as Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives. My personal favorite token doubler is Rhys the Redeemed (how can you not love a token generator that also doubles tokens?!). However, we need other ways to make tokens as well. Emeria Angel, Felidar Retreat, Rampaging Baloths, and Scute Swarm make tokens whenever we play a land, while Tendershoot Dryad makes tokens for us on each upkeep.
But what if we want to make our tokens stronger?
Elesh Norn
One such way is through Divine Visitation. Imagine making 4/4 Angels instead of 1/1 Humans! Another way to make better tokens is thanks to Harmonious Archon, which makes all of our non-Archon creatures 3/3s! This definitely gives us more bang for our buck. While these ultimately change the power and toughness of our tokens ,they still remain a bit small. Luckily we have even more ways to buff our beaters. With Kaldheim comes the return of Phyrexians. While we haven't seen her appear in this set, rest assured Elesh Norn will make an appearance in this deck until she does. Not only does she buff our stuff, she also hinders our opponents as well. Kamahl, Heart of Krosa allows our creatures a similar buff without the opponent hate (plus our creatures gain trample)! However, these buffs are only minimal. What we want are the beefiest of beefers. I'm talking about huge chonkers: Craterhoof Behemot and Pathbreaker Ibex.
These are iconic green creatures made for token decks. With these on the battlefield, combat steps definitely prove to be fatal. Craterhoof Behemoth pumps our tokens up equal to the number of creatures we control. If our board is full of tokens, this gives us rather large attackers. However, this ability only happens once when he enters the battlefield. If we want our combat step to be even more fatal, casting Pathbreaker Ibex after we play Craterhoof is definitely the move to make. If we have 32 creatures on the battlefield, Crafterhoof will give our creatures +33/+33! When we cast Pathbreaker Ibex, they get even beefier (depending on the highest toughness creature). While these buffs are sure to make the table a bit saltier, sometimes it's nice to have games that aren't sodium free. These are "you win" cards, so we have to run them, right?
Rather than have a VIP section, this week I've opted for my favorite card of the week. Pet cards, powerful cards, it doesn't matter to me so long as I like it! This week's pick is March of the Multitudes. Back when I made content around MTG Arena, one of my favorite decks to play was Rhys the Redeemed Brawl. It was the closest I could get to playing Commander on Arena, so naturally I was drawn in. Casting March of the Multitudes in my Rhys deck ultimately meant imminent victory—I gained a million life thanks to Linden or Ajani's Welcome. In this situation, we will win based on combat damage. When casting March of the Multitudes in this deck, we want to tap as many tokens as we can in order to help pay for it's Convoke cost. If y'all thought this card was crazy in Standard, you haven't' seen in it go maximum overdrive in Commander. Imagine casting this spell with a Divine Visitation out and then casting a Craterhoof Behemoth for a combat step so hateful, you'll be questioning if we're even playing Selesnya!
I've never really built a "land" deck in Commander before—I always had an interest but it came across as incredibly intimidating to me. Plus the sheer cost is nothing to sneeze at! However, Maja takes the beautiful aspects of landfall and combines it with one of my favorite themes to play in Magic: tokens! I do have to say that this week's article ending will be a bit different than most. I want to ask you, dear readers...what do you want to see from me? Please comment with what types of articles you'd like to see from me in the future. I'll see you next time, darling deckbuilders! And remember, always be brewing!
