Whatever token or counter you need, she can make more of it.
Still, she can alsopopulate 1/1 tokens thanks to her fabricate ability.

Creative Energy Commander Deck Analysis
Satya’s ability requires aggression.
Thankfully, Satya has a number of excellent targets likeSolemn Simulacrum,Myr Battlesphere, orAetherstorm Roc.
Thenstart attackingwhileduplicating your most threatening card.
A notable issue with the deck is alack of instant-speed answers.
Cayth, Famed Mechinist by Eric Wilkerson
The deck has Akroma’s Will and Swords to Plowshares, and that’s pretty much it.
Three board wipesare present in the form ofLocalized Destruction,Austere Command, andFarewell.
Creative Energy could also see some improvements in its mana base.
We’ll toss those cards and replace them with something better in the following section.

Sphinx of the Revelation by Maxime Minard
Plus a bit of card draw in the form of Mulldrifter, because who doesn’t love Mulldrifter?
A beautiful addition to Creative Energy.
Most often, Aragorn will ensure Satya’s access while providing a consistent source of life gain.
A great card from theFallout Commander deck, SCIENCE!
You’ll find this in Modern Horizons 3 packs.
Electrosiphon
Another Fallout card, Electrosiphon counters a spell and gives you energy.
Use it to keep Satya safe.
Plus, it’s an 8/8 vigilance trample haste creature that’s sure to terrorize the table.
Mulldrifter
Satya can copy Mulldrifter for two cards each time.
This sort of tricker is great for Satya and provides incredible versatility over a regular Island.
Rootborn Defenses
Make your army indestructible and create a copy of a creature token.
A great way to end games.
Swooping Pteranodon
One Swooping Pteranodon can steal three opposing creatures with the help of Satya.
First, play Swooping Pteranodon to make your first theft.
And since all three have haste, they can all attack on the same turn.
It’s a brutal way to turn the tables on someone.
The Motherlode, Excavator
Most Commander decks have a lot of nonbasic lands.
Ergo, The Motherlode will make a lot of energy counters.
Witch-Blessed Meadow
On the one side, it’s a slow Plains.
Versatility makes great Commander decks, and it doesn’t get much more versatile than this double-sided card.
