The Commander

Creature tokens you control have haste.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, create a 2/1 blue Phyrexian Myr artifact creature token. Then you may choose a token you control. If you do, each other token you control becomes a copy of that token.

Guide

Gameplan

Brudiclad turns a wide-but-weak board of tokens into an army of identical bombs each combat. You generate cheap tokens, copy options (powerful creature tokens or dangerous tokens like Dragons/Demons), then at combat use Brudiclad to transform every token into copies of your best one and swing for lethal with haste. The deck mulligans toward ramp into Brudiclad on turn 5-6 and a token to copy.

Strengths

Explosive, instant turnaround: an unimpressive board becomes lethal in a single combat
Built-in haste means copied tokens attack the turn they're made
Flexible payload — copy a flier, a Blightsteel Colossus token, or even an opponent's token
Free token every turn keeps the engine fueled even after board wipes

Weaknesses

Brudiclad is a 6-mana glass cannon that telegraphs your plan; removal or a fog blanks the turn
Heavily commander-dependent — without him the deck does little
Board wipes and instant-speed spot removal during combat are backbreaking
Needs a quality token to copy or the ability does nothing exciting

Key Cards

Dockside Extortionist — Floods the board with Treasure tokens that Brudiclad can copy into your best creature for an army.
Combat Celebrant — Copy every token into Celebrants, attack, exert one for an extra combat, then do it again for absurd damage.
Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer — The entire deck is built around his combat-step copy ability and token haste anthem.
Xenagos, God of Revels — Doubling the power of an attacking copied army with haste pushes through one-shot lethal damage.
Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker — Generates extra copies of key creatures to feed Brudiclad and enables combo lines.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Dockside, Mana Crypt) to land Brudiclad earlier and free token generators like Hangarback Walker, Myr Battlesphere, or Ophiomancer to always have copy fodder. Include protection (Heroic Intervention, Lightning Greaves) so he survives to combat, and tutors plus copy enablers (Saheeli, Kiki-Jiki) to assemble explosive turns more reliably. Tighten the mana base and trim slow tokens that don't translate into a lethal copy target.
