The Commander

Convoke (Your creatures can help cast this spell. Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature's color.)

At the beginning of each end step, if you created a token this turn, draw a card.

Guide

Gameplan

Flood the board with tokens every turn so Bennie draws you a card on each end step, turning a go-wide army into a relentless card-advantage engine. You build a wide board, refill your hand, and grind opponents out before closing with anthems or a big overrun. Convoke also lets your tokens recast Bennie cheaply if she's removed.

Strengths

Mono-white card draw, one of the color's biggest weaknesses, solved repeatedly
Triggers on each player's end step, so you can draw up to four cards per turn cycle
Cheap to recast via convoke if she dies
Token strategies are deep and well-supported in white

Weaknesses

Reliant on producing a token every turn or the draw simply doesn't happen
Mono-white means limited interaction, ramp, and no built-in combo finishers
Vulnerable to board wipes that erase your token army and engine simultaneously
Removal of Bennie shuts off the card advantage until you recast her

Key Cards

Ophiomancer — Guarantees a free token at each upkeep, ensuring Bennie's draw trigger fires reliably.
Hofri Ghostforge — Not in color—use Mondrak instead; ignore.
Mondrak, Glory Dominus — Doubles every token you make, supercharging both your board and the draw engine.
Skullclamp — Sacrifice 1-toughness tokens for two cards each, stacking draw on top of Bennie.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion — Reliable repeatable token maker plus an overrun finisher to close games.
Smothering Tithe — White's premier ramp, fueling the expensive token payoffs and convoke spells.

Upgrade Path

Add token doublers (Mondrak, Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives) and reliable per-turn makers (Ophiomancer, Adeline) so the draw always fires; prioritize fast white ramp like Smothering Tithe and Mana Crypt to deploy threats ahead of curve. Round out with protection (Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention) against board wipes and a Craterhoof-style finisher to convert your engine into a kill.

Archetypes

Tokens — Her draw trigger directly rewards making at least one token each turn, the core of the deck.

Aristocrats — Token fodder feeds sacrifice outlets like Skullclamp while still satisfying the draw condition.
