Shanna, Sisay's Legacy

Gameplan

Shanna is a two-mana voltron threat that scales with your board, growing larger as you flood the field with creatures. Develop a wide presence early, then suit Shanna up with evasion and protection to swing for lethal commander damage, or pivot into a go-wide token attack backed by anthems and mana doublers.

Key Cards

• Rancor — Cheap, recursive trample enabler that pushes Shanna's huge bonus through blockers.
• Shalai, Voice of Plenty — Protects your whole board and Shanna from targeted removal while adding a creature to her count.
• Cathars' Crusade — Snowballs the whole team and Shanna whenever creatures enter, making go-wide lethal trivial.
• Heroic Intervention — One-mana insurance against the board wipes and removal that are Shanna's biggest threat.
• Skullclamp — Solves GW's card-draw problem by cashing in small tokens for fuel.
• Finale of Devastation — Acts as a tutor, mana sink, and overrun finisher that fits perfectly with a wide board.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, mana dorks) and tutors like Enlightened Tutor and Steelshaper's Gift to assemble protection and evasion consistently. Lean into a Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Hordes finisher backed by token generators, and prioritize protection (Lightning Greaves, Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection) to survive the board wipes that punish a wide strategy.
