Rationale
Sally Pride is a 5cmc token generator that scales with the number of nontoken creatures on board, then pumps the whole team each attack via +1/+1 counters — a strong go-wide payoff in creature-dense white shells. Signature in tokens-go-wide and counters-voltron (mass counter distribution synergizes with both anthems and voltron-style scaling), but requires board presence to deliver meaningful ETB value and needs to attack repeatedly to accrue counter value. Purely white (WW pip is manageable) and locks into a creature-heavy battleplan.
Learnings (3)
Sally Pride's ETB token count counts only nontoken creatures you control at the moment she enters, so boards wiped down to tokens before she resolves yield zero Mutants — timing her entry after a rebuild is critical.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
The 2/2 red Mutant tokens she creates are themselves nontoken creatures from that point forward, so subsequent ETB triggers (flicker loops) count previously created Mutants only if they are your own non-ETB-created creatures — standard token-nontoken distinction applies.
tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6
Her attack trigger puts +1/+1 counters on ALL creatures you control including tokens, making her synergize strongly with counter-doublers like Doubling Season or Hardened Scales even in a tokens shell.
