Legendary Creature — Astartes WarriorMarneus Calgar
The Commander
Double strike
Master Tactician — Whenever one or more tokens you control enter, draw a card.
Chapter Master — 
: Create two 2/2 white Astartes Warrior creature tokens with vigilance.
Guide
Gameplan
Marneus Calgar turns every token-creation trigger into card advantage, so you flood the board with tokens, refill your hand, and grind opponents out before closing with go-wide attacks or a few drained life totals. Early turns ramp and set up token engines; mid-game you abuse mass token producers to draw fistfuls of cards; late-game his ability is a mana sink that draws two and adds bodies every turn.
Strengths
- Built-in card advantage engine that scales explosively with token producers
- Esper colors give access to the best removal, wraths, and tutors
- Double strike makes him a real combat threat and Voltron-capable
- Self-sufficient: his Chapter Master ability is a recurring draw/token outlet without other cards
- Token-matters synergies overlap with anthems and aristocrats payoffs
Weaknesses
- Triggers only on tokens entering, so flickering nontoken creatures doesn't help
- High mana value (5) and his activated ability is mana-hungry at
- Relies on a commander that draws removal as the engine hub
- Can be slow to assemble the full token+draw payoff package
- No evasion beyond double strike makes Voltron plans easy to chump
