How Terra decks play in EDH

Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra is a five-colour commander in white, blue, black, red and green, and its legendary creature - human wizard warrior // legendary enchantment creature - saga wizard line shapes the whole deck around it. It makes tokens, so the deck wants ways to pump a wide board and to turn spare bodies into cards or damage. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. The cards below are the ones Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
