Lets make a rough sketch of our deck: A deck that can take advantage of the graveyard
Cards like Archetype of Endurance and Sigarda, Host of Herons can provide broad protection for your entire board
11I think the better phrase would be, "you almost always wouldn't." A number of great players have, on rare occasions, played 61 cards and done well with them, though obviously they put a great deal of thought into the matter
As my stockpile of cards continues to grow, Im sure Ill make some basic refinements, such as dividing cards by specific type instead of having general categories
That being said, all the best red token generators can be roughly grouped into: Those that create Treasures, Those that create a copy of a creature you control, usually exiling or sacrificing it at the end of combat or end of turn, Those that spawn 1/1 creature tokens, Those that create some really big dragons
Voice of VictoryVoice of Victory is by far the best mobilize card: It's cheap to cast, fairly resilient, it gives you the counterspell-pass for your turns, and it also prepares you coffee (it doesn't, but it may as well do)
