Archetypes:
-Amass Orcs X (B/R/u) – create a 0/0 Orc Army token with X +1/+1 counters on it. If you already control an Orc Army, add X +1/+1 counters to it instead.
-Sacrifice (W/B) – Relies on token generation of Orcs (B/R), Humans (W/R/B) and sometimes Food (W/B/G) tokens.
-Humans (W/U/R) – There are some humans in (B/G) but mainly America colors. Goes wide, works well with Sacrifice, other token payoffs.
-Elves/Wizards (U/G) – Elves care about Scry and Voting. Underpowered in booster draft, so I added an entire slot in the packs to try to help green as a whole. Relies on rares to be really good (but there are a bunch of them).
-Hobbits/Ents (W/G/b) – Cares about generating and using Food tokens, also cares about +1/+1 counters. Also underpowered in booster draft, but cards from the commander set really help, including Legendary Creatures that are more powerful.
-Spells/Wizards (U/R) – Cares about playing instants and sorceries…but also casting multiple spells in a turn, drawing multiple cards. Tends towards control.
-5 color Bombadil – Niche, but there are Sagas in each color to support. He mainly exists to give you a 5 color option as commander, but this deck does exist….
