Guide
Gameplan
Halana turns every creature you flicker, recast, or generate into a removal spell, pinging down opposing creatures for their power on entry. You build a green creature midrange/value board, flood ETBs to clear blockers and threats, then close with combat or partner synergies. With Partner you pair her with a complementary color (often Alena, Kessig Trapper) to ramp out fatties whose huge power makes the trigger lethal removal.
Strengths
- Repeatable, color-light creature removal that doubles as board control
- Excellent with blink, recursion, and token strategies that flood ETB triggers
- Reach plus removal makes her a strong defensive anchor and fight-deck enabler
- Partner lets you expand into a second color for more power and flexibility
Weaknesses
- Mono-green alone struggles with non-creature threats, fliers en masse, and enchantments
- The tax per trigger is mana-intensive and slows you down
- Effect requires creatures to enter, so wraths and creature removal blunt the engine
- Low individual card advantage without a dedicated value engine
Key Cards
- Alena, Kessig Trapper — Her natural partner ramps into high-power creatures whose ETBs become devastating Halana shots.
- Soul of the Harvest — Big body that refills your hand every time creatures enter, fueling the engine.
- Conjurer's Closet — Repeatable end-step blink retriggers Halana to ping a creature each turn.
- Temur Sabertooth — Bounces and recasts your creatures to fire Halana's trigger repeatedly and protect threats.
- Craterhoof Behemoth — Pumps your board and its own massive power makes the Halana trigger an enormous removal blast.
- Panharmonicon — Doubles creature ETBs, though note Halana's reflexive trigger still requires paying each time.
Upgrade Path
Lean into a reliable blink/recursion engine (Conjurer's Closet, Temur Sabertooth, Eternal Witness) and high-power ETB creatures so each trigger is both card advantage and lethal removal. Add ramp like Cultivate, Sol Ring, and mana dorks to offset the tax, and commit to the Alena partner for a second color that opens better removal, draw, and finishers. Top-end Craterhoof or a counters package gives you a clean win once the board is stabilized.
