Key Strategy
Cadira, Caller of the Small leads a deck centered around generating a massive army of tokens and then using them to overwhelm your opponents. This deck focuses on creating as many tokens as possible, then leveraging Cadira’s ability to double their numbers each time she connects in combat. With the support of token-doubling effects, powerful anthem effects, and utility creatures, this deck quickly grows an unstoppable force, flooding the battlefield with creatures and overpowering your opponents with sheer numbers.
Cadira, Caller of the Small: As the commander, Cadira is the core of your strategy, turning your existing tokens into even more tokens whenever she deals combat damage. Her ability to snowball your token production makes her essential to your game plan, allowing you to amass an overwhelming board presence.
Mondrak, Glory Dominus and Anointed Procession: These cards are pivotal in doubling the number of tokens you create. Mondrak, Glory Dominus can even become indestructible, making it a resilient part of your strategy. Anointed Procession effectively doubles your token output, synergizing perfectly with Cadira's ability.
Cathars' Crusade and Beastmaster Ascension: These powerful enchantments turn your army of small creatures into a legion of massive threats. Cathars' Crusade puts a +1/+1 counter on each of your creatures whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, while Beastmaster Ascension quickly activates to give your creatures a massive power boost.
Felidar Retreat and Avenger of Zendikar: Felidar Retreat provides a consistent way to create tokens and grow them with +1/+1 counters, while Avenger of Zendikar generates a large number of plant tokens that can be grown into threats with landfall triggers, making it an excellent tool for both early and late-game dominance.
Rabble Rousing and Second Harvest: Rabble Rousing hides a spell under its hideaway ability while producing a large number of tokens when you attack, effectively doubling your board presence. Second Harvest instantaneously doubles your token count, turning your existing forces into an overwhelming army.
Gala Greeters and Tireless Provisioner: These utility creatures provide valuable resources whenever creatures enter the battlefield under your control. Gala Greeters grows stronger and gains life, while Tireless Provisioner creates Treasure tokens, helping to ramp your mana base and fuel your spells.
Halo Fountain and Scepter of Celebration: Halo Fountain provides multiple utility functions, including creating tokens and untapping creatures, while also offering an alternate win condition. Scepter of Celebration equips a creature to generate an army of 1/1 tokens whenever it deals combat damage, synergizing perfectly with Cadira’s ability.
Early Game: In the early game, focus on ramping and setting up your token production. Play mana dorks like Avacyn's Pilgrim and Llanowar Elves to accelerate your mana, and cast ramp spells like Cultivate and Three Visits to ensure you hit your land drops. Deploy early token producers like Rhys the Redeemed or Jaheira, Friend of the Forest to start building your board presence. Cadira, Caller of the Small can come down early to start doubling your tokens with each attack.
Mid Game: By the mid-game, your goal should be to establish a large board of tokens and start turning them into formidable threats. Play key synergy pieces like Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Anointed Procession, or Cathars' Crusade to enhance your token production and power. Deploy powerful creatures like Avenger of Zendikar and Felidar Retreat to flood the board with tokens and grow them into significant threats. Beastmaster Ascension and Rabble Rousing can turn your tokens into game-ending threats when you swing in for combat.
Late Game: In the late game, focus on overwhelming your opponents with your massive army of tokens and powerful finishers. Second Harvest can double your tokens in an instant, creating an insurmountable board presence. Use Cadira, Caller of the Small to continue multiplying your tokens and swing in with a massive army. Halo Fountain provides utility and a potential alternate win condition, while Scepter of Celebration can help you close out the game by generating a flood of new tokens. If the game drags on, cards like Shamanic Revelation can help you refuel and maintain pressure on your opponents.
Opening Hand Considerations: Look for a balanced hand that includes ramp, a token producer, and a way to enhance your tokens. A hand with Llanowar Elves, Arcane Signet, or a ramp spell like Rampant Growth will help you accelerate into your powerful mid-game plays. If you have early token producers like Rhys the Redeemed or King Darien XLVIII, it’s usually a good keep as these cards are key to your deck's strategy. Also, look for hands with card draw or utility options, like Tocasia's Welcome or Bennie Bracks, Zoologist, to ensure you have gas as the game progresses.
Hands to Avoid: Avoid hands that are too slow or lack ramp, as you need to establish your board presence early to take advantage of your token synergies. Hands with too many high-cost spells or without any early plays are also risky. If your hand doesn’t have a clear plan for the first few turns, consider taking a mulligan to find a more balanced hand that can set up your synergies quickly.
With this strategy guide, you should be well-prepared to pilot your Cadira, Caller of the Small deck to victory. By leveraging the power of token generation and Cadira’s doubling abilities, you can build an unstoppable army that overwhelms your opponents with sheer numbers and relentless pressure.
