The plan here is to try and work with a kind of clunky and forgotten card - the flavourful Dearly Departed. A 5/5 flyer for six would have been impressive in white at one point, but we're more interested in capitalizing in that what comes free - a bonus +1/+1 counter on all your humans. Of course, one counter's nice, but why not get four on all of 'em? Throw a whole batch of dead ancestors into the bin with a quick Buried Alive (wait... how do you bury the dearly departed alive?) and even the cheapest human will show up huge.

Failing that, you can plunk gramps and granny into your 'yard via a number of discard outlets, and Tomb Robber can pitch them by discarding or milling if they happen to be on top. Hopeful Initiate lets you turn some of those free counters into removal if needed, and Abzan Falconer can give your whole army evasion to sail over your foe's blockers to victory.
