Junk Winder
Affinity had lived almost exclusively on artifacts for two decades: the mechanic that let Ravager Affinity assemble a broadside on turn one, priced in the metal it was built from. Porting the keyword to tokens reframes what the discount is measuring. Instead of counting Ornithopters and Frogmites, this counts the wide board any go-wide deck already wants, so the deck that most naturally casts it is exactly the deck already flooding the table with bodies. What that board buys is not just a cheaper Serpent but a lock. Every token that enters taps a nonland permanent an opponent controls and keeps it tapped through their next untap step, which turns a token engine into a soft Winter Orb pointed at whatever matters most: blockers pulled out of the way, mana rocks stranded, an attacker frozen mid-combat, a creature that wanted to crew or activate held down. The 5/6 body is almost beside the point; the card is a payoff that scales with a resource the token deck was generating anyway, and the trigger keys on any token entering, not just ones you cast, so incidental Treasures, Clues, and combat tokens all feed it. Go-wide decks usually convert their board into damage or sacrifice value; this gives them a third exit, converting width into denial, stalling an opponent out one permanent at a time while the swarm keeps coming.
