Baylen, the Haymaker
Baylen, the Haymaker Commander Deck
Baylen, the Haymaker sits at the center of a token swarm strategy, using the ever-growing army of creatures to tap for mana, draw cards, and stack +1/+1 counters on itself as it grows into a trampling threat. The deck floods the board through land drops, spells, and creature triggers that generate tokens, then leverages enchantments that deal damage on creature entry or pump the whole team to convert token quantity into lethal pressure. The primary win conditions are infinite token and counter loops enabled by Basking Broodscale pairing with either Rosie Cotton of South Lane or Cathars' Crusade, while a backup line uses Storm Herd alongside Cathars' Crusade to generate a near-infinite stampede of countered Pegasi.
