Commander: Faramir, Steward of Gondor

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Faramir, Steward of Gondor leads a Human/Soldier token deck that uses the monarch and legendary creatures to generate a wide board and drown opponents in card draw. The primary plan is to land Faramir early, trigger the monarch with a 4+ CMC legend like Boromir, Gondor's Hope, and then bury the table under repeated 1/1 Human Soldier tokens. Secondary paths are anthem/go-wide combat through Greymond, Chronicle of Victory, Harbin, and token doublers like Bard, King of Dale and Elspeth, Storm Slayer. Blink effects (Soulherder, Oji, Ephemerate) add resilience and extra enters triggers. Bard, King of Dale acts as a hidden second commander. The deck wins through one overwhelming combat, usually with Knowledge Is Power or an Elspeth emblem.
