Leinore, Autumn Sovereign

Gameplan

Leinore is a Selesnya counters/go-wide commander who turns a diverse board into card advantage. Each combat she grows a creature and, as long as you control three creatures with different powers, draws you a card — so you flood the board with varied tokens and counter-creatures, then swing wide or tall.

Key Cards

• Doubling Season — Doubles every +1/+1 counter and token, supercharging both Leinore's growth and your power-diversity.
• Hardened Scales — Cheaply amplifies the counters Leinore places and helps create varied powers.
• Esper Sentinel — Extra card advantage and a creature that supports the coven-style power diversity.
• Cathars' Crusade — Each token entering pumps everything, generating varied powers and a snowballing board.
• Branching Evolution — More counters per trigger means faster, bigger threats and reliable power differences.
• Heroic Intervention — Protects your wide board from the wraths that turn off Leinore's engine.

Upgrade Path

Lean into either tokens or counters and add payoffs like Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede, or Triumph of the Hordes to close games. Add proliferate and counter-doublers (Branching Evolution, Innkeeper's Talent) plus protection (Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection) so wraths don't shut off your engine. Improve mana with Selesnya staples like Smothering Tithe, fast rocks, and efficient ramp to deploy your wide board faster.
