The bread to our butter, the meat to our potatoes, it’s all about the human creature type with the advent of Thalia's Lieutenant, this card really can push a lot of disadvantageous board states our way with his enter the battle field trigger (ETB), not to mention he can become a serious threat in his own right by just playing the rest of our cards. Let’s talk about the synchronization of turn one Champion of the Parish into a turn two Thalia’s Lieutenant can get out of hand very quickly. Another interesting addition to our human package is Hanweir Militia Captain
, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched my opponents bolt the wrong human, or stop me in my upkeep to read the card again, if you’ve played it you know that once flipped Westvale Cult Leader
plays so perfectly into everything we want that if left unchecked even for a turn or two she can run away with the game.
We have some utility slots in our Human side of the deck, Mikaeus, the Lunarch is an anthem effect that pairs well with Abzan Falconer to grant us evasion and finish our games. To help diversify our threat package and mess up our oppoent’s plan to interact with us is lowly and unsuspecting Kytheon, Hero of Akros
. Like the deck Kytheon can behave differently at different junctures in the game. For instance, the card can be early pressure, can blank or just die to removal, flip into a planeswalker with some really relevant abilities, and can even be brought back with friends later.
