Baylen, the Haymaker cEDH stats

How it plays & wins

This is a fast, midrange-leaning Naya creature deck. It uses mana rocks, Moxen, spirit guides, and Birds of Paradise to deploy Baylen early. From there it builds mana with tokens from Smothering Tithe and Academy Manufactor, plus Gaea's Cradle. Chord of Calling, Green Sun's Zenith, Eladamri's Call, and several other tutors find the right creature for the situation. Silence, Veil of Summer, Orim's Chant, Deflecting Swat, Solitude, and the blasts let it protect its plan or interrupt opponents.

The win condition isn't clear from this list, and no infinite combo was detected. The most plausible route is attacking with a large, mana-boosted board, with Ranger-Captain of Eos, Mondrak, and Gandalf the White supporting the grind. It may also just win by tutoring flexible threats and out-tempoing the table. I can't say with confidence that any specific two-card finisher is the intended kill.
