It’s not just Marchesa where the card is making an impact, either. Lots of decks have tokens, but not Green. Green got left on the sidelines, sad because all of the other kids’ dads came and took them out for banana splits after the game while they sat in the rain for an hour waiting for their mother’s boyfriend to pick them up; and, even though he was apologetic, you know he lost track of time hitting on the cashier at the C store where he buys smokes and your mother deserves better than that and I’m never going to call you Dad, Kevin. The point is, Green decks are spoiled and now non-Green decks are doubling tokens and it’s a blast. Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Heliod, God of the Sun, Daxos the Returned, even Breya, Etherium Shaper are getting in on this sweet, sweet Anointed goodness. With this in mind, I want to talk about a Legendary creature I wasn’t excited about building at all until I got down with the Procession. It’s time to get this Procession started with the most Anointed there is — Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun.

First, we want to steal as much of their stuff as possible. I’m talking steal their Sword of Fire and Ice when you hit them with Thada Adel, Acquisitor who happens to have Stolen Identity encoded on her. We want to play with Vedalken Shackles because we always want that. I’m talking let’s run Snapcaster Mage so we can cast a kicked Rite of Replication again. I’m talking actually running Supplant Form in a deck. That card doesn’t get used in decks, y’all. That stops now. Luckily, the primary way we get their best creatures (making tokens that are copies of them) sets us up to benefit from being a token-based deck. We’re going to scale the power level of our deck to theirs by trying to steal their stuff and use it so our decks matchup well with theirs. We’re going to win by having a ton more tokens than they have original creatures, and we’re also going to try and snuff out the original creature after we copy it by running spells like Hour of Reckoning. Our wraths are either going to create tokens or they’re going to leave tokens alone. It’s been a minute since I jammed Martial Coup in a deck and I’m raring to go.

What does such a deck look like? Will we even want to play it when we’re done? I don’t know for sure but what I do know is that I can’t wait to get building.

Buy This Deck

Not a ton surprised me in building this, which was almost a little disappointing. Normally I go digging through Gatherer and find a bunch of stuff the stock lists are missing and put my own unique spin on the archetype, but every idea I had for this decks seemed to be what everyone else was already doing. I’m not going to quite say the community is mostly making Temmet decks that are inherently 75%, but it isn’t far off, actually. The same things I want to be doing to help scale the power level of my deck to the power level of theirs, others are doing just because Temmet lends himself to that sort of a strategy. Even my 75% mainstays like Thada Adel and Daxos of Meletis are already included in a lot of stock lists. I found a few gems (I think if we’re going to wrath this often, we should play Seance) but for the most part, I didn’t alter the original trajectory of the deck that much.

What did I miss? You guys were very helpful last week in chiming in and I really appreciate that. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, non-sequiturs, anything, aim that at the comment section of this article. I’d love to hear how other people are building this deck and what techniques you’re using to make your other 75% decks. Thanks as always for tuning in. Until next week!
