Deck Overview:
Commander: Kyler, Sigardian Emissary
At the core of this deck lies an intricate tapestry woven from Humans and +1/+1 counters. Kyler, Sigardian Emissary, stands resolute as the beacon of hope, leading an ensemble of Humans towards an ascendant destiny. The deck's essence revolves around summoning a chorus of Humans, fortifying them with counters, and witnessing their collective power propel you to victory.
Summoning the Legions:
Our saga commences with the conjuration of Human tokens. Embrace the guidance of cards like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Katilda, Dawnhart Prime, alongside the potent synergy of Call the Coppercoats and Increasing Devotion. These cards breathe life into the battlefield, each Human token embodying unity's strength, forming the foundation for your counter strategy.
Shielding the Emissary:
To harness Kyler's prowess fully, the safeguarding of the emissary's presence is paramount. Embrace the protective embrace of Swiftfoot Boots, Asceticism, and the newly introduced Yavimaya Hollow, ensuring Kyler, Sigardian Emissary's unwavering guidance amidst the chaos of battle. Teferi's Protection and Heroic Intervention stand sentinel against threats that would seek to disrupt your destiny.
Harmonizing with the Horn of Gondor:
As if preordained by destiny, the newly unveiled Horn of Gondor from the LOTR set resonates with the very heart of this deck. Upon its entrance, a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token materializes, embodying unity. By channeling mana, a crescendo of 1/1 white Human Soldier creature tokens surges forth, echoing the strength of your united Human forces. The Horn of Gondor seamlessly aligns with your core synergy, increasing the amount of +1/+1 counters on Kyler and amplifying the symphony of your victory.
Empowerment through Counters:
Kyler's transformative presence not only leads your ranks but also fosters exponential growth as more Humans rally to your cause, resulting in the proliferation of +1/+1 counters. This synergy is magnified by cards such as Cathars' Crusade and Hardened Scales, augmenting the power of each counter and uniting your forces' collective might. Moreover, the inclusion of Ozolith, the Shattered Spire in your arsenal enhances this dynamic further. This legendary artifact, activated at sorcery speed, ensures that every +1/+1 counter placed on an artifact or creature you control is accompanied by an additional counter, significantly bolstering the resilience and strength of your growing assembly. Additionally, The Ozolith works in harmonious tandem with Kyler's strategy, absorbing the counters of departed creatures and redistributing them, allowing you to reinvigorate other units on the battlefield. For those seeking an alternative approach, Bone Sabres presents an appealing substitution for Hydra's Growth. This artifact equipment, when bestowed upon an attacking creature, places an impressive four +1/+1 counters on it, swiftly escalating its power. Also considering the target this paints on Kyler's back, equipments usually remain on the field if we fail to protect our commander. Plus it can be strategically switched to another target creature, offering versatility in combat strategies akin to Kyler's overarching vision.
