Commander deckGU
Tishana, Voice of Thunder
Flood the board with small creatures and tokens to maximize Tishana's draw potential, then utilize a massive hand size and creature count to overwhelm opponents.
Asked for“Build a Commander (EDH) deck with Tishana, Voice of Thunder as commander. Strategy: go wide with MANY creatures, cast Tishana to draw a huge number of cards, then win through card advantage and a large board. Focus on: High creature count (at least 30–35 creatures) Creature-based draw (ETB, cast, attack triggers) Token generation and cheap creatures Blink/bounce effects to reuse ETB draw and retrigger Tishana Payoffs scaling with hand size or creature count Include: 33–35 lands 10+ ramp (mana dorks/land ramp) 10+ repeatable draw engines 5–7 blink/bounce effects 8–10 interaction Protection for key pieces Avoid low-synergy cards. Prioritize strong Simic staples. Power level: high, not cEDH. Output a complete 100-card decklist.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
