Appa, Steadfast Guardian
Appa, Steadfast Guardian Commander Deck
Appa, Steadfast Guardian uses its enter-the-battlefield trigger to exile your own permanents and grant them reduced-cost recasting from exile, generating a steady stream of 1/1 Ally tokens each time you cast a spell from that exile zone. The deck accelerates this engine through cost-reduction effects and blink synergies, repeatedly triggering Appa's ability to cycle permanents through exile while flooding the board with tokens buffed by anthem effects. The primary win conditions are infinite blink loops involving Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward paired with Felidar Guardian or Restoration Angel and a rebound effect, generating unbounded tokens and ETB triggers that can close out the game through combat or payoff effects.
