Abby, Merciless Soldier

Gameplan

Ramp hard and repeatedly cast Abby from the command zone, since the number of 1/1 Cordyceps Infected tokens you make scales with every mana spent — including commander tax, which makes each recast bigger. You build a wide board of Fungus Zombies and convert them into damage or sacrifice fodder, while Abby herself is handed to an opponent (use removal or forced sacrifice to send her back and recast).

Key Cards

• Impact Tremors — Pings every opponent each time a Cordyceps Infected enters, turning mass token creation into direct damage.
• Purphoros, God of the Forge — Deals 2 to each opponent per token, making a single big Abby cast lethal.
• Craterhoof Behemoth — Turns your wide Fungus Zombie board into a one-shot alpha strike.
• Skullclamp — Converts your expendable 1/1 tokens into a card-draw engine.
• Goblin Bombardment — Free sacrifice outlet to throw tokens at threats and convert your board into reach/removal.
• Doubling Season — Doubles every batch of Cordyceps Infected tokens Abby produces.
• Parallel Lives — A cheaper green token doubler that massively inflates each Abby cast.

Upgrade Path

Add token doublers (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, Anointed Procession isn't legal here so stick to green/red) and ETB-damage anchors (Purphoros, Terror of the Peaks, Warstorm Surge) so each Abby cast threatens lethal. Pile on big mana ramp (Cryptolith Rite, Mana Reflection, fast mana) to maximize tokens per cast, and include cheap removal or forced-sacrifice effects to keep reclaiming Abby from opponents for repeated casts. A well-chosen Survivors partner that provides card advantage or another sacrifice payoff smooths consistency.
