Character Background
Genku, Future Shaper is a value-oriented Azorius Moonfolk Wizard that rewards permanent churn by creating one of three small utility tokens—2/2 vigilant Fox, 1/2 flying Moonfolk, or 1/1 lifelink Rat—whenever another nontoken permanent you control leaves the battlefield, choosing a different token type each turn. That design pushes midrange/value and light combo shells that repeatedly sacrifice or blink creatures, artifacts, or enchantments to grind out incremental advantage while stabilizing life and board presence; it’s also playable in tempo lists that trade permanents to leave attackers or blockers behind. Practical deckbuilding: include cheap flicker/bounce effects and recurring sacrifice outlets so you can trigger Genku multiple times per turn while protecting it with countermagic or removal protection, and leverage its {3}{W}{U} anthem to turn token streams into lethal swings. Treat Genku as a long-game engine—protect it, churn permanents, and convert small triggers into overwhelming value.
