The Commander

If you would create one or more tokens, you may instead create that many 2/2 green Cat creature tokens with haste or that many 3/1 green Dog creature tokens with vigilance.

Guide

Gameplan

Jinnie Fay turns every token you make into either a 2/2 haste Cat or a 3/1 vigilance Dog, upgrading flimsy tokens into a real board. You ramp out Jinnie early, flood the board with token generators, then alpha strike with hasty Cats or grind with anthem effects and aristocrat payoffs. The deck wins through wide aggression backed by mass pumps and overrun effects.

Strengths

Massively upgrades token quality—1/1s and Treasures become 2/2 hasters or 3/1 attackers
Haste Cats enable explosive surprise alpha strikes the turn you go wide
Naya colors give access to the best token, anthem, and overrun payoffs
Flexible: choose Cats for offense or Dogs for defensive vigilance bodies

Weaknesses

Heavily reliant on Jinnie being on the battlefield; she's a removal magnet
Vulnerable to board wipes that erase your whole token army at once
Sacrifices token type synergies (no Treasures, Clues, Food, or specific tribal tokens)
Can struggle against go-tall decks and lifegain if it can't close fast enough

Key Cards

Jetmir, Nexus of Revels — Direct partner payoff giving your wide board trample, haste, and a massive anthem to close games.
Cathars' Crusade — Every token entering pumps your whole board, snowballing absurdly fast with mass token makers.
Craterhoof Behemoth — Turns your army of upgraded Cats and Dogs into a lethal one-shot finisher.
Anointed Procession — Doubles your token output, and Jinnie still upgrades each one into a 2/2 or 3/1.
Skullclamp — Cheap card draw engine that loves your expendable tokens, refueling the wide strategy.
Ohran Frostfang — Gives your attacking tokens deathtouch and draws cards on combat for relentless pressure.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and ramp (Sol Ring, Birds of Paradise, Cultivate) to land Jinnie by turn two or three and overwhelm before disruption arrives. Pack token doublers (Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Parallel Lives) and protect your wide board with Heroic Intervention and Flawless Maneuver. Cap it with multiple overrun finishers (Craterhoof, Overwhelming Stampede, Triumph of the Hordes for infect) so a single board wipe doesn't end your game.

Archetypes

Tokens — Jinnie converts all your token generation into beefier, more relevant bodies en masse.
Aggro/Go-Wide — Haste Cats and anthems let you flood the board and swing for lethal quickly.
Aristocrats — A steady stream of 2/2 and 3/1 tokens fuels sacrifice and drain engines.
