Ranar the Ever-Watchful

Gameplan

Ranar turns exile into an engine, churning out flying Spirit tokens whenever you foretell cards, exile your own hand, or flicker/blink permanents. You build a wide board of evasive bodies while developing through cheap foretell value, then close with go-wide pumps or aristocrat-style drain. The deck plays a midrange tempo game protected by free foretell, vigilance, and a steady token stream.

Key Cards

• Erdamon Brion — Placeholder note—prioritize foretell cards like Saw It Coming and Behold the Multiverse that trigger Ranar for free each turn.
• Behold the Multiverse — A premium foretell card that draws two while feeding the free foretell trigger to make a Spirit.
• Saw It Coming — Flexible foretell counterspell that triggers Ranar on the cheap to protect your board.
• Soul Herder — Repeatable blink engine that exiles permanents to spawn Spirits and reuse ETBs.
• Brago, King Eternal — Mass blink of your permanents each combat creates a flood of exile triggers and tokens.
• Anointed Procession — Doubles every Spirit token Ranar makes, accelerating your go-wide plan dramatically.
• Intangible Virtue — Anthem that buffs your flying token swarm into a real clock with vigilance.
• Faceless Haven — Manland that survives wraths and provides a resilient threat alongside tokens.

Upgrade Path

Add more efficient blink engines (Ghostly Flicker, Displacer Kitten, Restoration Angel) and token doublers (Mondrak, Glory Dominus) to multiply triggers. Tighten the foretell package toward high-impact spells and include resilient win conditions like Approach of the Second Sun or a Cathars' Crusade go-wide finish. Improve mana with fast rocks, fetch-fixing, and protective interaction (Teferi's Protection, Heroic Intervention) to survive the board wipes your tokens fear.
