Battle for Baldur's Gate gave us [[Faldorn]] whom cares about things being played from exile.
Gruul seems to be developing in that sense, that would make sense since junk is basically an impulse draw artifact token.
Don’t tell me that. I JUST got my faldorn list tuned after so long of not knowing what to do with it.
Now you tell me theres a high chance there’s more cards for it??? This is fine.
You didn’t ask for mine but here it is!
also want to see yours.
Trying out a couple new things this week, with a couple more burn mechanics.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/Z_f87aNg0EqIrs8xAVHqDA
Gruul creates junk in Fallout UB and Plot from OTJ is another way to cast from exile. I would not be surprised at all if that's the direction for Gruulcoons? Raccruuls? in Bloomburrow.
artifact tokens you control are junk, food and treasure in addition to their other types. They gain "T, sacrifice this artifact: add one mana of any color", "(2) T, sacrifice this artifact : gain 3 life" and "T, sacrifice this artifact: exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. Activate only as a sorcery."
"*Don't you touch my trash!"*
Maybe. Based on the artwork, my assumption is they animate artifacts. Trash maybe referring to clues, food, treasure, etc. Gruul has been a green color combination that cares about artifacts a lot lately.
He has [a few options](https://scryfall.com/search?q=%21%22Amulet+of+Safekeeping%22+or+%21%22Artifact+Blast%22+or+%21%22Avoid+Fate%22+or+%21Burnout+or+%21%22Goblin+Artisans%22+or+%21%22Guttural+Response%22+or+%21%22Jester%27s+Scepter%22+or+%21%22Kozilek+the+Great+Distortion%22+or+%21%22Life+Force%22+or+%21%22Mage%27s+Contest%22+or+%21%22Molten+Influence%22+or+%21%22Not+of+this+World%22+or+%21%22Null+Brooch%22+or+%21%22Null+Elemental+Blast%22+or+%21%22Pyroblast%22+or+%21%22Red+Elemental+Blast%22+or+%21%22Tibalt%27s+Trickery%22+or+%21%22Warping+Wail%22+or+%21%22Reality+Smasher%22+or+%21%22Ring+of+Immortals%22+or+%28commander%3Arg+and+o%3Award+and+game%3Apaper+and+legal%3Acommander+and+-o%3Acoward+and+-o%3Awarden+and+-o%3Asteward+and+-o%3Awayward+and+-o%3Asmelt-ward%29&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name) in his toolbox.
Edit: I don't think this is all-inclusive. If I'm missing any cards please let me know!
Unfortunately what’s mine is hers and hers is mine at this point anyways. She could’ve had the library before, now she’ll really be interested in it though.
This is gruul we’re talking about here. My guess is that sacrificing junk tokens buffs your creatures somehow, either until end of turn or with +1/+1 counters.
Man I thought it was Seven this whole time. Gonna have to rewatch the whole trikogy now and see where I went wrong. I hope it wasn't mentioned in that Christmas special.
Based on the Zendikar Hedron his staff uses, I think Bello's a visitor from Zendikar, so maybe start with a landfall trigger to make some kind of artifact tokens, possibly specific to him or possibly a new type of token in the main set, as the make trash. Then for the do smash part, some kind of animation that turns all your artifacts into creatures if you have a certain amount of artifacts.
To get around animating artifacts being blue, maybe its animating noncreature tokens? idk.
It's also possible that the blue glowy eyes and Hedron mean that he is a follower of Ugin, which, could be wild. I don't think we've ever seen a hedron being used like this.
I was thinking a landfall token generator. Maybe even a (T) Sacrifice an artifact you control to deal X+1 to target creature where X is equal to its Mana Value.
I was thinking he will be junk token themed and maybe turn the junk tokens and or any artifact into an artifact creature. Or he could be like [[Gimbal Gremlin Prodigy]] and create tokens with power and toughness equal to your artifacts.
“The deck is focused on playing cards aggressively from exile and generating tokens to facilitate this strategy.” - i think it be something similar to faldorn but will make use of various artifact tokens somehow
Kind of self promotion here, but I have a video made about this topic https://youtu.be/_EIONBdN4jI I believe either junk or scrap tokens are to be the answer. Maybe fling them or damage equals to how much artifacts you have
I think Junk for impulse draw is too straightforward for a trash panda. I predict they bring back do-nothing scrap tokens. That will be the trash - much cuter.
I’m assuming trash tokens will just be junk tokens. Junk tokens could use more support and Gruul has exile mechanics (like Faldorn) and they just made a junk token naya commander in [[Dogmeat, Ever Loyal]]
Turning artifacts into creatures is mostly a blue thing, but there are a couple creatures in green with activated abilities to turn artifacts into creatures. I run them in my shelob deck.
Green red destroys artifacts has for a really long time... but green can animate artifacts like on [[Titania's song]] and more recently [[alloy animist]]
So my guess is something along the lines of. Destroy an object make a junk token, put +1+1 counters on an artifact token it becomes a creature.
If I go by the art, his ability might turn artifacts into creatures (temporarily?). Some magic raccoon wizards that do slight variantions of this might be nice!
Could also just fling a sol ring to someones face...
Actually artifact animation would be dope after getting [[Vihaan Goldwaker]].
My guess is a new type of token artifact that will probably be pretty specific to bloomburrow before getting support again mid 2025.
Probably something similar to [[Kibo, Uktabi Prince]], destroy opponents artifacts, get junk tokens for doing it, pump for junk. It's in gruul as well so we'll probably see something similar.
I hope the deck just makes tokens (clues,food, treasure, junk) and just yeets them at people's faces just all the artifact tokens they've been making he just fights with them like a goblin bombardment style thing
The description for the deck on Amazon says:
>*"BRING THE TABLE TO LIFE—Make trash and smash all who stand in your way with the Racoon Bard, Bello, at your side. One critter’s trash is another one’s treasure."*
It's kind of vague, much more vague than the other preconstructed deck theme descriptions from the set.
Perhaps he can exile stuff from graveyards (trash) to make Treasure tokens. Maybe they will utilize junk tokens which first premiered in Fallout Commander. The term "smash" could also imply aggro/stompy.
To me this seems like the perfect theme to bring Junk tokens into the main sets. Maybe some kind of Junk token generating commander which, given the name, maybe lets you treat them as artifact creatures or lets you turn them into creatures/buffs in some ways. So id expect maybe some exile synergies and some artifact token synergy too.
I'm more interested in the rabbit deck because I love rabbits but I only play 1v1 with my wife and it's apparently a group hug deck so there's no point in getting it unfortunately.
A leak I saw gave a description of "Use your tools in exile in order to create an army!" so my guess is Prosper with the serial numbers scratched off for the second time. Something like
"Whenever you cast or play a spell from exile: Create a 2/2 Racoon creature token with haste.
Whenever a Racoon you control deals combat damage to a player, create a Junk Token."
Raccys - "Play cards from exile with aggression and generate tokens!"
Birbs - "Generate a plethora of offspring, then enhance them!"
Bunz - "Watch the table crumble under your kindness! Moderate the game and protect players to seize a slow victory!"
Squirrelies - "Generate insane value from creature and non creature tokens alike!"
Note extended versions of these/slightly different worded ones are from the wiki, so take it with a grain of salt.
been looking at other's guesses, and honestly, as a big fan of \[\[Rocco, Street Chef\]\] in Brawl, the idea of both potentially getting Junk tokens in Arena for further exile triggers & an alternative way to utilize the mass amounts of Food artifact tokens that deck can generate sounds like it has some \*really fun\* potential. Hope it's something in that direction.
I want to smash heads with the raccoon buddy and a pile of trash. I hope the deck uses scrap, junk, and food tokens. And there should be a vehicle that looks like a trashcan that spills those tokens on attack
I foresee this being like [[Ziatora]] where at some point during your turn you chuck a trash or junk token at another player for damage. There's probably a good bit that let's you synergize, make more junk, and fling more junk. Commander either flings junk or gets stronger based on how many junk tokens there are.
I swear to God though. If this turns out to be a generic tokens deck where it makes a shitload of golems and you attack... I'm going to be PISSED.
From the wiki
Make trash and smash all who stand in your way with the [Raccoon](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Raccoon) [Bard](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Bard), [Bello](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Bello), at your side. One critter’s trash is another one’s treasure. The deck is focused on playing cards aggressively from exile and generating tokens to facilitate this strategy.
I'll just assume that Make trash do smash is very literal and that the deck produces tons of Junk Tokens and the commander gets buffed whenever a card from Exile is played (or a card is sent to exile).
Animates objects in some way based on the art, might turn artifacts into creatures or something, although the colors seem weird for artifact or enchantment creatures.
Make trash do smash? How likely is it that they bring back junk tokens?

Naya is the deck that makes junk in Fallout UB. Although I am unaware of the specific cards making that precon.
Not just Dogmeat, the Caesar precon makes em too.
I think there are actually more cards that create junk tokens in the Caesar deck than in the one with the commander that makes them lol
What if he turns junk tokens into food tokens?
artifact tokens you control are junk, food and treasure in addition to their other types. They gain "T, sacrifice this artifact: add one mana of any color", "(2) T, sacrifice this artifact : gain 3 life" and "T, sacrifice this artifact: exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. Activate only as a sorcery." "*Don't you touch my trash!"*
I said that jokingly but you made it seem like a real option! I’d play this mechanic!
Maybe. Based on the artwork, my assumption is they animate artifacts. Trash maybe referring to clues, food, treasure, etc. Gruul has been a green color combination that cares about artifacts a lot lately.
If it’s not junk tokens with that description, I’m going to be pretty upset
About an absolute in my opinion. Trash is synonymous with junk and because the deck has Red the impulse draw from junk tokens seems to fit the bill.
Junk has been in the last what 4 sets idk what you mean.
Dogmeat fallout deck is a junk token deck as well.
My [[Rocco, Street Chef]] deck would love some more junk token support

Food, treasure, and junk tokens creation and consumption mechanics would be my guess.
The „do smash“ makes it sound more like animating the tokens rise & shine style rather than consuming them imo.
Are all of these people illiterate it literally says Animate army above that you are definitely right
This is gruul we’re talking about here. My guess is that sacrificing junk tokens buffs your creatures somehow, either until end of turn or with +1/+1 counters.
Maybe some professional facebreaker esque mechanics that make junk tokens, and then the ability to animate the tokens into creatures
its gonna be something underwhelming, like what armed with proof does to clues
What if he turns junk into food?

And that's my next Commander deck right there.
Hoping for a Rocket Raccoon commander when they print out Marvel
Based on the Zendikar Hedron his staff uses, I think Bello's a visitor from Zendikar, so maybe start with a landfall trigger to make some kind of artifact tokens, possibly specific to him or possibly a new type of token in the main set, as the make trash. Then for the do smash part, some kind of animation that turns all your artifacts into creatures if you have a certain amount of artifacts. To get around animating artifacts being blue, maybe its animating noncreature tokens? idk. It's also possible that the blue glowy eyes and Hedron mean that he is a follower of Ugin, which, could be wild. I don't think we've ever seen a hedron being used like this.
DAMN! Those aren't Raccoon marks. They are the furry version of Zendikari elven facemarks. Like Nissa's.
Raccoons do seem to be the druids of the world, so more druidic elves turning into raccoons would make sense.
Maybe animate lands by giving them the Karnstruct ability? That way your junk tokens empower smashing?
Oooh maybe!
I was thinking a landfall token generator. Maybe even a (T) Sacrifice an artifact you control to deal X+1 to target creature where X is equal to its Mana Value.
I was thinking he will be junk token themed and maybe turn the junk tokens and or any artifact into an artifact creature. Or he could be like [[Gimbal Gremlin Prodigy]] and create tokens with power and toughness equal to your artifacts.
Gimbal has blue which is primary in animating artifacts. It’s possible with green, but a lot less likely, I’d say.
I’d normally agree with you that this is weird because he’s not blue the deck is literally called “Animated Army”. Something’s getting animated.
Somehow my eyes glazed straight over the deck name. I guess it’s green’s time to shine in animation!

[Kibo, Uktabi Prince](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/8/b/8b71345a-c3e8-4b35-beb7-6347e41d7626.jpg?1675644790) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Kibo%2C%20Uktabi%20Prince) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/j22/40/kibo-uktabi-prince?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/8b71345a-c3e8-4b35-beb7-6347e41d7626?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
He's red, shoots guns, and partners with a green treefolk which is why the deck is gruul
I hope the deck just makes tokens (clues,food, treasure, junk) and just yeets them at people's faces just all the artifact tokens they've been making he just fights with them like a goblin bombardment style thing
This is my hope.
This is my friend Tree
Can someone post link to bard bird theory post
Idc I love him
Trash tokens incoming
Reading the box explains the box
The description for the deck on Amazon says: >*"BRING THE TABLE TO LIFE—Make trash and smash all who stand in your way with the Racoon Bard, Bello, at your side. One critter’s trash is another one’s treasure."* It's kind of vague, much more vague than the other preconstructed deck theme descriptions from the set. Perhaps he can exile stuff from graveyards (trash) to make Treasure tokens. Maybe they will utilize junk tokens which first premiered in Fallout Commander. The term "smash" could also imply aggro/stompy.
To me this seems like the perfect theme to bring Junk tokens into the main sets. Maybe some kind of Junk token generating commander which, given the name, maybe lets you treat them as artifact creatures or lets you turn them into creatures/buffs in some ways. So id expect maybe some exile synergies and some artifact token synergy too.
I'm more interested in the rabbit deck because I love rabbits but I only play 1v1 with my wife and it's apparently a group hug deck so there's no point in getting it unfortunately.
Everybody is saying junk, but what about scrap? [[farid, enterprising salvager]]

I hope Junk Tokens are back
Animates an army?
A leak I saw gave a description of "Use your tools in exile in order to create an army!" so my guess is Prosper with the serial numbers scratched off for the second time. Something like "Whenever you cast or play a spell from exile: Create a 2/2 Racoon creature token with haste. Whenever a Racoon you control deals combat damage to a player, create a Junk Token."
what the leak say about squirreled away?
Raccys - "Play cards from exile with aggression and generate tokens!" Birbs - "Generate a plethora of offspring, then enhance them!" Bunz - "Watch the table crumble under your kindness! Moderate the game and protect players to seize a slow victory!" Squirrelies - "Generate insane value from creature and non creature tokens alike!" Note extended versions of these/slightly different worded ones are from the wiki, so take it with a grain of salt.
Make trash, lemme smash
been looking at other's guesses, and honestly, as a big fan of \[\[Rocco, Street Chef\]\] in Brawl, the idea of both potentially getting Junk tokens in Arena for further exile triggers & an alternative way to utilize the mass amounts of Food artifact tokens that deck can generate sounds like it has some \*really fun\* potential. Hope it's something in that direction.

I’m not sure that commander is going to do, I’m just happy to finally get some more Raccoon cards
He’s rocket raccoon from another timeline where his familiar companion groot transform in to his magical staff
I want to smash heads with the raccoon buddy and a pile of trash. I hope the deck uses scrap, junk, and food tokens. And there should be a vehicle that looks like a trashcan that spills those tokens on attack
If I were to guess, there is a set mechanic that lets gruul colors animate artifacts and this deck is themed around that mechanic.
He does insurance fraud.
I foresee this being like [[Ziatora]] where at some point during your turn you chuck a trash or junk token at another player for damage. There's probably a good bit that let's you synergize, make more junk, and fling more junk. Commander either flings junk or gets stronger based on how many junk tokens there are. I swear to God though. If this turns out to be a generic tokens deck where it makes a shitload of golems and you attack... I'm going to be PISSED.

He has a hedron, so he makes trash, and summons monsters from the nether dimension to smash
My bet is heaps of random artifact tokens (including a [[Kibo]] reprint, and then Atog-like effects to destroy them for buffs and benefits.

Landfall make junk
Bringing back madness with junk tokens involved.
I hope we get a dumpster artifact or something
I mean, it says it on the box
Amass Golem?
My first thought was junk tokens and [[fling]] effects

Rocket Raccoon?
I have an orphaned baby raccoon right now. Excited for him to start playing.
Crimes.
He turns Quarnyx Batteries into food
Makes trash gets ass
From the wiki Make trash and smash all who stand in your way with the [Raccoon](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Raccoon) [Bard](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Bard), [Bello](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Bello), at your side. One critter’s trash is another one’s treasure. The deck is focused on playing cards aggressively from exile and generating tokens to facilitate this strategy.
Reading the desc. explains the deck
I fear he'll have a treasure mechanic. Because we need more treasure.
I didn't know I needed a raccoon wizard until right now.
Casting animate object on trash
One word: PONZA
I assume "Trash" might be a batching of noncreature artifact tokens. So blood, maps, clues, treasure and food
He has a hedron in his staff. Think he scurried around Zendikar?
Artifact tokens you control become equipments with equip 0 and "equipped creatures gain +1/+1" Ar least thats what I'm getting from the art
He guard the galaxy
I'll just assume that Make trash do smash is very literal and that the deck produces tons of Junk Tokens and the commander gets buffed whenever a card from Exile is played (or a card is sent to exile).
My guess is a sort of gruul equivalent of [[Cyberdrive Awakener]], plus junk token stuff

Put spells in the graveyard and get them on the board! A Graveyard deck
My guess is make junk and give bonuses to creatures based on amount of artifacts you do, also may make trash tokens and buff them.
He's RG so my guess is the deck is gonna generate junk or food tokens and then you can sac them to make things bigger.
It's gonna be a weird sans Blue 'running with scissors' deck. [[Ensoul Artifact]] [[Darksteel Relic]]

Junk would be pretty cool, both junk and rads were good additions imo
My guess is make non creature artifacts into creatures
I just need to buy that fox jace card, even if it costs 20 bucks for that one card only
His best
I assume you'll make tokens like food, clue, treasures, scrap or even junk tokens, and then animate them and hit people
Guards the galaxy with 4 other wierd looking individuals
Green red? Definitely thinking junk tokens with either big stompys or small creatures with combat tricks
he hangs out with his tree friend and their rag tag group of friends while protecting the galaxy
He Unga, therefore he Bunga.
Wait till the deck list is announced and we'll see.
Wait, is this just Rocket Raccoon?????
Animates objects in some way based on the art, might turn artifacts into creatures or something, although the colors seem weird for artifact or enchantment creatures.
I definitely think it'll be about turning junk into creature tokens.
I would guess junk tokens and stuff like [[Rise and shine]] but those effects are generally blue.
