Vikya, Scorching Stalwart

Gameplan

Pump Vikya into a giant threat, then use her ability to repeatedly fling damage equal to her power at creatures, planeswalkers, or faces, drawing cards off excess damage to refuel. Early on she grows via Training by attacking alongside bigger creatures, and mid-game you build a board of beaters and untap engines so she becomes a recurring Fireball that closes the game on her own.

Key Cards

• Thousand-Year Elixir — Untaps Vikya so she can activate twice in a turn and dodges summoning sickness.
• Sword of Fire and Ice — Pumps her power, grants protection, and adds extra burn/draw on combat damage.
• Embercleave — Cheaply turns Vikya into a massive double-striking threat whose power feeds huge fling damage.
• Aggravated Assault — Extra combat steps mean extra Training triggers and untapped attackers for more flings.
• Anointed Procession — Doubles your token army for both Training partners and chump-blocker fodder around Vikya.
• Faithless Looting — Smooths draws and provides discard fuel that pairs naturally with her ability's cost.

Upgrade Path

Add power-doublers and big buffs (Embercleave, Blackblade Reforged, Bedrock Tortoise effects) so each fling deals enormous damage, plus untap enablers like Thousand-Year Elixir and Aggravated Assault to activate her multiple times per turn. Tighten the mana with fast rocks (Arcane Signet, Boros Signet, Smothering Tithe) and protection like Swiftfoot Boots so the engine never stalls. For higher power, lean into a dedicated untap/extra-combat combo line to convert her into a deterministic finisher.
