Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


How to Play

Get creatures with big thoughness as soon as possible. Then Doran does the rest. Discard spells in order to get rid of opponent´s annoying cards. As for the sideboard:

Vs milling and control decks: Elixir of immortality, Unearth, Duress and Gerrard's Verdict, substitute for Swords to Plowshares, Necroskitter and Path to Exile (Since milling decks in tiny leader don't rely much on creatures), and Primal Rage.

Vs Tribal decks such as Elves or Soldiers: Perish or Virtue's Ruin and Black Sun's Zenith, substitute for Slagwurm Armor and Blackmail. Since these decks rely mostly on creatures.

Vs Red and/or Black decks: Celestial Purge, Sadistic Sacrament and Duress, since they use so much removal. Take out Elves of Deep Shadow and Small mana adding creatures which can be killed easily specially with damage dealing spells.

Deck discussion for Doran the Bonsai (Tiny Leader)

Assault Formation could be nice to help get Doran's effect without Doran being there.

As for vs tribal, a lot of them make tokens, so I think Bile Blight and Echoing Decay might be good options.

I've never played Tiny Leader, so take my suggestions with a pinch of salt.

Well, this is my first time playing this format so thank you very much for the suggestions. I will consider them as well, as right now everybody in the group of people I play with is looking for options and strategies.

Seeing that the format has a 49 card deck (the commander doesn‘t start in the deck) and the normal starting hand is 7 (ignoring mulligans), that leaves 42 cards on the start or 41 on the draw. With do few cards, I'd be tempted to play mill with a few extraction spells to get rid of the shuffle back cards. The other option I'd go for is a pure aggro rush strategy to get as much damage from a cheap commander (like Rhys the Redeemed or Ezuri, Renegade Leader) as soon as possible.

Yes, milling is pretty annoying. Ambassador Laquatus is one mof the most played in this format as well.
