The Prydwen wants a deck that turns its Vehicles into creatures and attacks with them. It also suits a deck that makes an army of small creatures and attacks with all of them.

Whenever another nontoken artifact you control enters, create a 2/2 white Human Knight creature token with "This token gets +2/+2 as long as an artifact entered the battlefield under your control this turn."
Picked for what they do in The Prydwen's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit The Prydwen's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary

Most rulings are written by Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Magic, and a few are notes from Scryfall, the card database Magic players use. A ruling explains a card.

Once an artifact enters the battlefield under your control in a given turn, it doesn't matter what happens to it later. A Knight token created by The Prydwen, Steel Flagship's second ability will still get +2/+2 for the rest of that turn.
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryWPlayers write colors as letters: W for white.VehiclesVehicle decks use Vehicles, artifacts that become creatures when you tap your own creatures to crew them. A Vehicle is not a creature the rest of the time, so it survives spells that destroy all creatures and then turns into an attacker when you need it.Open the Vehicles pageVehicleAn artifact subtype that is not a creature until it is crewed. Crew N is an activated ability: tap any number of untapped creatures you control whose total power is N or more, and the Vehicle becomes an artifact creature until end of turn. The crewing creatures are only tapped: they are never sacrificed, they do not attack, and summoning sickness does not stop them from crewing.

A token is a creature or other permanent created by a card, with no card of its own. Something that makes one token gives you a body; something that makes them every turn gives you a board you can keep rebuilding after it is cleared.

Different cards make very different ones: creatures Grave Titan, Treasures Smothering Tithe, Clues Tireless Tracker or Food Gilded Goose. This is one of our largest tags, so pair it with an archetype or theme when you are hunting a specific kind.Open the Token Maker pageETB PayoffRewards you whenever your permanents enter the battlefield. It either gives you something for each arrival or makes their 'when this enters' abilities happen twice. Impact Tremors, PanharmoniconOpen the ETB Payoff pageTokensToken decks fill the battlefield with small creatures made by their cards, then attack with all of them or make them all bigger at once. A token is a creature (or other object) that a card creates, not a card from your deck.Open the Tokens pageBlink/FlickerBlink decks briefly remove their own creatures from play and return them at once, so every 'when this enters' ability happens again. The move is called a flicker, and it can also rescue a creature from a spell aimed at it.Open the Blink/Flicker pageVehiclesVehicles are artifacts that become creatures when you crew them by tapping your own creatures with enough total power.Open the Vehicles pageEvasionAn ability that makes a creature hard to block, so its attacks reach the player.
