Emmara, Soul of the Accord

Gameplan

Emmara is a token engine on a 2-drop body: every time she taps, you make a 1/1 lifelinking Soldier, so the deck wants to tap her repeatedly without combat. Use convoke, tap-for-value abilities, and untap effects to spit out an army, then go wide and overrun the table with anthems and a finisher. You grind incremental value early and snowball into a lethal board.

Key Cards

• Intangible Virtue — Anthem that buffs every Soldier token and turns the board into a real clock.
• Citanul Hierophants — Gives all your creatures convoke-like mana tapping, letting you tap Emmara repeatedly for soldiers.
• Shielded by Faith — Combos with a free untapper to make infinite lifelink tokens and gain infinite life.
• Cryptolith Rite — Turns every token into a mana source so you can tap Emmara via spells and abilities all game.
• Craterhoof Behemoth — Classic go-wide finisher that converts your soldier army into lethal damage.
• Skullclamp — Turns expendable 1/1 tokens into a relentless card-draw engine.

Upgrade Path

Add reliable tap outlets and convoke enablers (Cryptolith Rite, Citanul Hierophants, Intruder Alarm) to maximize triggers, plus protection like Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to survive wipes. Tighten the combo line with Shielded by Faith and a free untapper, and upgrade ramp/finishers (Smothering Tithe, Craterhoof Behemoth) to close faster. Skullclamp and Esper Sentinel keep the cards flowing so the engine never stalls.
