Her core competency is leveraging the synergies to maximize the deliverables. With a strong Soldier tribal theme, obvs.

I'm searching for cards that will allow this deck to manipulate combat mechanics, similar to Master Warcraft and Odric, Master Tactician, or even Reconnaissance. Please post suggestions if you know of similar cards that let the controller dictate blocking assignments.

I built this deck because Winota's ability strikes me as a chance to overcome the inherent card-disadvantage in W/R. Namely, there aren't many budget options.

In an attempt to extract value, the non-human soldiers tend to be low on the curve, whereas the human soldiers tend to be higher on the curve.

Future drafts may add "extra-combat-after-this-one" effects, as budget allows.
