The Commander

Flying

Zinnia gets +X/+0, where X is the number of other creatures you control with base power 1.

Creature spells you cast gain offspring {2} as you cast them. (You may pay an additional {2} as you cast a creature spell. If you do, when that creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it.)

Guide

Gameplan

Cast creature spells with the built-in Offspring tax to make 1/1 token copies, flooding the board with bodies that also pump Zinnia. Lean on cheap, value-laden creatures and ETB triggers so each copy doubles your impact, then convert the wide board into damage via Zinnia's growing power or go-wide payoffs.

Strengths

Free Offspring on every creature spell generates two-for-one value across the whole deck
Synergizes natively with 1/1 tokens and base-power-1 creatures to make Zinnia a fast, evasive threat
Doubling ETB creatures (Mulldrifter, Solemn Simulacrum, etc.) snowballs card and board advantage
Jeskai gives access to extra combats, anthems, and strong removal/protection

Weaknesses

Offspring requires extra mana, so you can stall if you don't ramp into multi-spell turns
Token-heavy boards fold to wraths and board sweepers
Zinnia's power matters only if she connects, making her vulnerable to chump blockers and flying defense
Needs a critical mass of cheap creatures to keep the engine humming each turn

Key Cards

Mondrak, Glory Dominus — Doubles every Offspring and creature token you make, exponentially widening the board.
Anointed Procession — Another token doubler that turns one Offspring copy into two for explosive go-wide turns.
Impact Tremors — Each token copy and creature ETB pings every opponent, turning your bodies into a damage engine.
Mentor of the Meek — Your flood of 1/1 power-one tokens refills your hand to fuel more creature spells.
Cathars' Crusade — Every creature and Offspring copy stacks +1/+1 counters, snowballing the whole team out of control.
Mulldrifter — A premier Offspring target—paying nets a second flyer and another card draw.

Upgrade Path

Add token doublers (Mondrak, Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives) and ETB value creatures to maximize each Offspring payment, plus ramp like Smothering Tithe and Sol Ring to afford multi-spell turns. Include go-wide finishers (Craterhoof Behemoth, Finale of Devastation, Akroma's Will) and protect the board with Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection. For higher power, lean into combo lines like Impact Tremors plus repeatable token generation or blink loops with Restoration Angel and value creatures.

Archetypes

Tokens / Go-Wide — Offspring turns every creature into two bodies, naturally building a wide board for anthems and overrun effects.
Blink / Value ETB — Doubling ETB creatures and flickering them multiplies card advantage and triggers.
Aristocrats — Abundant expendable token copies feed sacrifice outlets and drain effects.
Voltron-lite — A board full of power-one tokens makes Zinnia a huge evasive flyer that can close games.
