The Idea

Avatar of the Resolute , Servant of the Scale & Hangarback Walker walk into a bar...

A Hardened Scales combo deck with gnarly counter synergy. With Cinder Glade+Wooded Foothills naya is easily playable. Allowing a potential 8/8 Woodland Wanderer on turn four and letting me run Radiant Flames in my sideboard for those pesky atarka red, swarm, elves, and ally decks. Not to mention Shaman of the Great Hunt , if he sticks around at all his impact is devastating.

Inspiring Call keeps my hand full while protecting.

Dromoka's Command speaks for itself.

Most people would sideboard Evolutionary Leap but the fact that I can blow-up my own Servant of the Scale and Hangarback Walker for multiple instances of profit is a no-brainer.

Valorous Stance is just a nice piece of utility.
