Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon is a powerhouse commander that thrives on one thing: **aggressive momentum.** Unlike many Boros (Red/White) commanders that focus on equipment or keywords, Anim Pakal is a "go-wide" engine that scales exponentially.

Here is how these decks are typically structured:

### 1. The Power-Based Engine

The core mechanic of the deck relies on Anim Pakal’s ability to create 1/1 Gnome tokens whenever she attacks, based on the number of **+1/+1 counters** on her. Crucially, she gains a counter whenever *any* non-creature permanent enters the battlefield under your control.

Construction focuses on:

* **Artifact Synergy:** Since most non-creature permanents in these colors are artifacts (Mana Rocks, Equipment, Treasure), the deck is naturally "artifact-adjacent."
* **Counter Multiplication:** Cards like *Hardened Scales* or *Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion* are staples to ensure she grows faster than one counter per turn.

### 2. Token Production & Payoffs

Because Anim Pakal creates tapped and attacking Gnomes, the deck is built to reward a massive board state.

* **Impact Tremors Effects:** With the high volume of Gnomes entering, cards like *Purphoros, *** of the Forge* or *Witty Roastmaster* can end the game without you even needing to connect with combat damage.
* **Sacrifice Outlets:** Since Gnomes are often "expendable," builders include *Skullclamp* for card draw or *Goblin Bombardment* for extra reach.

### 3. Protecting the Queen

Anim Pakal has a massive target on her back because she doesn't have inherent protection and needs to attack to trigger her token ability. A well-built deck includes:

* **Haste Enablers:** To get her moving the turn she hits the board (*Lightning Greaves*, *Rising of the Day*).
* **Evasion:** Making her unblockable or giving her flying so she survives the attack step (*Whispersilk Cloak*, *Pippin, Guard of the Citadel*).
* **Phasing/Indestructible:** To dodge board wipes, as this deck is very vulnerable to losing its "engine."

### 4. Comparison Table: Aggro vs. Synergy

| Feature | Traditional Boros Aggro | Anim Pakal Engine |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Primary Goal** | Combat damage via keywords | Exponential token generation |
| **Key Resource** | Equipment/Auras | +1/+1 Counters & Artifacts |
| **Speed** | Linear (steady growth) | Geometric (snowballs rapidly) |
| **Recovery** | Hard (re-equipping is mana-intensive) | Medium (Anim regrows herself quickly) |

---

### The "Snowball" Philosophy

The defining trait of an Anim Pakal deck is that it feels like a math problem for your opponents. If she isn't removed within two turns, the amount of total power on the board usually exceeds what most players can block. It’s a "glass cannon" style: incredibly fast and explosive, but reliant on the Commander being present.
