Overview:

This Aragorn, the Uniter deck leverages a Human tribal/color-matters strategy, using the commander's triggered abilities to generate tokens, scry, deal damage, and pump creatures. The deck focuses on casting multicolored spells to maximize Aragorn's value while building a wide board of Humans supported by anthem effects like Flowering of the White Tree and Shared Animosity. Aragorn acts as both an engine and a win condition, synergizing with the deck's Human tribal theme and combat-focused game plan. Secondary strategies include monarch mechanics and occasional combat tricks with cards like Blade Historian and Combat Celebrant.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4):
   • Deploy mana rocks (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet) and Human value engines like Beregond of the Guard or Herald's Horn.
   • Cast Aragorn by Turn 4 using lands like Great Hall of the Citadel to fix colors.
   • Use early interaction (Swords to Plowshares, Reprieve) to protect your board.

2. Mid-Game Value (Turns 5-7):

   • Cast multicolored spells to trigger Aragorn’s abilities:
     • White: Generate tokens with Adeline, Resplendent Cathar or Oath of Eorl.
     • Blue: Scry 2 to set up draws with cards like Faramir, Steward of Gondor.
     • Red: Ping opponents via Aragorn’s third ability.
     • Green: Buff key attackers like Rohirrim Chargers.
   • Deploy anthem effects (Vanquisher's Banner, Odric, Lunarch Marshal) to amplify your board.

3. Win Conditions (Turns 7+):

   • Overwhelm opponents with combat damage using pumped tokens and extra combats (Combat Celebrant, Taunt from the Rampart).
   • Leverage Kessig Wolf Run or Blade Historian for lethal swings.
   • Use Zealous Conscripts to steal key blockers or combo pieces.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Prioritize hands with 3 lands (including color-fixing like Command Tower).
• Keep hands with Aragorn + 1-2 protection spells (Unbreakable Formation, Reprieve).
• Avoid hands lacking early plays or color diversity.

Key Tips:

• Sequence spells to maximize Aragorn’s triggers: Cast a white spell before combat to generate tokens, then a green spell to buff attackers.
• Use Roaming Throne (naming Human) to double trigger effects from cards like Beregond of the Guard and Horn of the Mark.
• Protect Aragorn with Bastion Protector or Swiftfoot Boots (if included in the deck).

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Board Wipe Vulnerability: Relies heavily on creature-based strategies with limited recovery outside Marshal's Anthem.
• Commander Dependency: Loses significant value if Aragorn is repeatedly removed.

Moderate

• Mana Base Fragility: Heavy use of tapped lands (e.g., Azorius Chancery, Boros Garrison) slows early momentum.
• Anti-Tribal Hate: Cursed Totem or Engineered Plague cripples Human synergies.

Minor

• Limited Stack Interaction: Relies on Reprieve and Supreme Verdict for control, leaving combos unchecked.

Most Important Cards:

• Aragorn, the Uniter (Engine/win condition)
• Adeline, Resplendent Cathar (Token generation)
• Shared Animosity (Combat damage amplifier)
• Flowering of the White Tree (Anthem + protection)
• Horn of Gondor (Token scaling)
• Combat Celebrant (Extra combats)
• Vanquisher's Banner (Card draw + anthem)
• Odric, Lunarch Marshal (Keyword soup)
• Supreme Verdict (Board wipe)
• Roaming Throne (Trigger duplication)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

• Can threaten lethal by Turn 7-8 with an established board but lacks fast mana or combos.

Resilience: 4/10

• Minimal recursion/protection outside Unbreakable Formation; struggles to rebuild after wipes.

Consistency: 6/10

• Strong tribal synergies and card draw (Horn of the Mark, Vanquisher's Banner) ensure steady pressure.

Interaction: 4/10

• Spot removal is efficient but sparse; limited answers to noncreature threats.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates as a tuned casual build with a clear combat focus, capable of winning via mid-game combat surges but held back by slow mana and fragility. Its reliance on Aragorn and vulnerability to wipes align it with upgraded precons or focused casual tiers.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
