Hey guys I always wanted to build a deck with Folk of An-Havva in it. Maybe I can go further and put also the following cards in it to complete the An-havva-theme: An-Havva Inn and An-Havva Constable .
I know some of you will think...what the hell is he trying, he is wasting his time. But for me it is a challenge to creating a deck that makes old (bad/niche) cards as efficient as possible.
I thought about the First strike ability in case of Folk of An-Havva but I am not sure. So where are the Johnny players? :D
Please note that this should have a budget around 50 Euros.
Thank you very much!

Maybe play this in a zoo style deck, An-Havva Constable can sync well with Burning-Tree Emissary. Folk of An-Havva just seems like an efficient trade off creature in the one drop slot, but there could be ways to make it work. Beastmaster Ascension if you can turn it on would work well for example, the other route being voltron and you build up the Folk of An-Havva.
You could also do green-white tokens style deck, stuff like Beast Within then becomes relevant. Saprolings come to mind, you can abuse a card like Life and Limb to create this type of effect. And follow this with support like Utopia Mycon and use Saproling Symbiosis as a finisher effectively doubling your already absurd amount of saprolings. Also note that if you have Life and Limb and then play Sporemound you get infinite saprolings but that this interaction can't be stopped unless you can disrupt the combo. This would make your An-Havva Constable extremely big and gain you a crap ton of life. To stop the combo consider Naturalize or Krosan Grip to get rid of the Life and Limb.

Thank you guys for your help which I very appreciate! I already thought about the Voltron strategy but I fear a little bit cards like Extirpate. I think the Naya Zoo archetype is perfect for those cards because of the land An-Havva Township which produces this sort of Mana. I also like the idea with the infinite saproling combo, what can be the "garden" of An-Havva haha. What about a white card (forgot the Name) that can give all my creatures First Strike? Especially cards like Folk of An-Havva would benefit from this?

White card that gives everything first strike is Archetype of Courage, its downside is two white and it is vulnerable to removal but it could work and make Folk of An-Havva an efficient blocker. There is also Akroma's Memorial but I don't see that card being effective.

No I talk about Knighthood. I think this should be better than Archetype. :) Akrome is too expensive with 7 Mana in my opinion. What do you think about Leyline of Vitality? I think this is a decent card with its +0/+1 ability that can change a lot on the board, plus it has the life gain ability.

It would sync well with the saproling combo and make all your creatures even more resilient, and the leyline ability to start on the field as an added bonus as potentially turn one you get a 3/2 blocker.

Really cool! I have one more question Oloro_Magic- what if I have two of these leylines in my opening Hand? Can I put both of them into the battlefield?

Yes they are not legendary so up to 4 can be on the battlefield at one time.

Essence Warden and Soul Warden then some sort of token producer. The wardens can be the wenches at the inn.
