The Commander
Flying, trample
Humans you control get +1/+1.
Coven — Whenever Sigarda attacks, if you control three or more creatures with different powers, look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a Human creature card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Guide
Gameplan
Deploy a wide Human board, anthem it with Sigarda, and turn each attack into card advantage by triggering Coven to dig for more Humans. You grind out the game by reloading your hand every combat while your team keeps growing, then close with a buffed-out alpha strike or go-tall on Sigarda herself.
Strengths
- Built-in repeatable card advantage every combat once Coven is online
- Sigarda's anthem plus flying/trample makes her a real threat by herself
- Humans tribal is deep in GW with strong synergy payoffs and cheap aggressive bodies
- Coven is easy to satisfy with token makers producing varied-power creatures
- Resilient white/green color pair with great removal, protection, and recovery
Weaknesses
- Coven requires creatures of three different powers, which uniform token armies can break
- Card advantage stops if Sigarda is removed or can't attack profitably
- Lacks built-in evasion for the whole team, so wide boards stall into bigger blockers
- No native interaction—relies entirely on the support package
- Vulnerable to board wipes that erase the Human swarm you depend on
Key Cards
- Adeline, Resplendent Cathar — Generates a different-power Human token per opponent on attack, instantly enabling Coven and going wide.
- Thalia's Lieutenant — A staple Human lord that pumps the team and snowballs your tribal board.
- Brutal Cathar — Cheap Human removal on a body that exiles a problem creature when it enters.
- Esper Sentinel — Premium Human that taxes opponents' noncreature spells and draws you cards.
- Intangible Virtue — Anthem that gives your token Humans vigilance, letting you attack for Coven while keeping blockers.
- Heroic Intervention — Protects your invested board from wraths and targeted removal at instant speed.
Upgrade Path
Add efficient anthems and token engines (Adeline, Mondrak, Cathars' Crusade) plus go-wide payoffs like Craterhoof Behemoth or Overwhelming Stampede for explosive finishes. Tighten the mana base with fast lands and ramp like Esper Sentinel and Smothering Tithe to fund recovery, and lean on protection (Heroic Intervention, Flawless Maneuver, Teferi's Protection) to survive wraths. Prioritize Humans that double as interaction—Brutal Cathar, Skyclave Apparition, Charming Prince—so your tribe stays relevant against varied tables.
