Overview

Embalm and eternalize are two of Amonkhet's most distinctive mechanics. Both let creatures return from the graveyard as token copies, and Eternal Might is built to exploit this recursion. Temmet, Naktamun's Will leads the embalmed warriors of Amonkhet into the race circuit of Aetherdrift, their eternal forms persistent and difficult to permanently remove.

The strategy has natural resilience: once a creature has been embalmed or eternalized, opponents cannot interact with its graveyard copy again. Token copies also deny reanimation-hate value, since they cannot themselves be reanimated. Anointed Procession doubles every token produced by the mechanic, turning a single embalm activation into two tokens and a single eternalize into two enormous threats.

Key Cards

These four cards represent the strategic core of the deck and are the most important pieces to protect and set up.

◈
Anointed Procession
Token Doubler · Core Enchantment
Whenever you create one or more tokens, you create that many additional tokens of each type. Every embalm and eternalize activation doubles in output with this on the battlefield. A single card that converts the entire deck's strategy from strong to overwhelming, making it the highest-priority enchantment in the deck.
◈
Angel of Sanctions
Removal · Embalm Threat
Exiles a nonland permanent when it enters the battlefield, and its embalm cost creates a second copy that exiles another permanent. Two removal spells stapled onto a 3/4 flier, all from the graveyard. With Anointed Procession, a single embalm creates two tokens and two exile effects.
◈
Champion of Wits
Card Draw · Graveyard Setup
Draws cards and discards on entry, then draws three cards and discards three when eternalized. Champion of Wits fills the graveyard with embalm and eternalize targets on the way in and refuels the hand massively on the way out. A critical engine piece for setting up the mid-to-late game transition.
◈
Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun
Token Pump · Evasion
The original Temmet gives a token creature of yours +1/+1 and unblockable each turn. As a synergy piece alongside the new Temmet commander, the Vizier of Naktamun ensures the token army can always find a path through, converting a wide board into guaranteed damage every combat step.

Playing the Deck

The early game is about establishing mana and filling the graveyard with embalm and eternalize targets. Champion of Wits is the ideal early play, drawing cards and discarding embalm creatures to set up future activations. Embalm and eternalize are activated abilities, not cast spells, so they bypass traditional counterspells.

The mid game focuses on activating embalm and eternalize at key moments. White removal and blue countermagic protect the pieces while the graveyard builds. Anointed Procession resolving before the major activations is the most important sequencing decision in the deck. With the enchantment in play, Angel of Sanctions, Vizier of Many Faces, and other key embalm creatures generate double the tokens.

The late game is about flooding the board with tokens faster than opponents can answer them. Eternalize threats are formidable on their own, and doubling them becomes overwhelming. board-wide effects and Temmet's buffing ability ensure that even a modest token army can close games quickly when given a clear path.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths: Recursive threats that return from the graveyard as tokens, bypassing spot removal repeatedly. Anointed Procession doubles every embalm and eternalize activation, creating overwhelming token counts with a single card. Strong resilience: token copies cannot be reanimated themselves, which denies graveyard-hate strategies additional value when targeting the token side.

Weaknesses: Token strategies lose hard to Humility or Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, which shrink or destroy the entire token army in a single card. The embalm and eternalize package requires specific creatures to be in the graveyard, making the deck slow to assemble. Esper can be inconsistent on a precon budget when trying to hit all three colours reliably in the early turns.

Verdict
Eternal Might is a flavourful Amonkhet-meets-Aetherdrift precon that rewards patient play and graveyard management. The embalm and eternalize package gives the deck persistent threats that survive removal rounds, and Anointed Procession turns those threats into a genuine flood of tokens. Commander players who enjoy token strategies with a graveyard angle will find a lot to love here. The deck grows considerably stronger with additional token doublers and more high-value embalm targets.
