Baylen, the Haymaker
Baylen, the Haymaker Commander Deck
Baylen, the Haymaker leads a token-doubling engine where effects like Parallel Lives and Anointed Procession rapidly multiply creature tokens, which are then tapped to fuel mana generation, card draw, and stacking +1/+1 counters on Baylen. The deck uses mana dorks and ramp spells to accelerate into mass token production, leveraging counter-amplifying effects and Cathars' Crusade to grow the whole board simultaneously. The primary win condition is a combat-focused alpha strike, ideally powered by Craterhoof Behemoth or Finale of Devastation to grant the token army overwhelming power and trample.
