Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Selesnya tribal stompy strategy led by Sigarda, Font of Blessings. The game plan revolves around deploying cheap ramp and early tribal enablers like Giada, Font of Hope and Bishop of Wings on turns one and two, followed by casting Sigarda on turn four. Once in play, Sigarda protects the entire board by granting hexproof to all other permanents and turns the top of the library into an extended hand for Angel and Human spells. Topdeck manipulators such as Sensei's Divining Top and Sylvan Library ensure a continuous stream of creatures without depleting hand cards. The deck transitions into lethal pressure on turns five through seven by stacking massive lifegain anthems from Righteous Valkyrie, Archangel of Thune, and Lyra Dawnbringer, or closing immediately with Akroma's Will. Robust protection spells like Teferi's Protection, Clever Concealment, and Heroic Intervention shield the army against sweepers, allowing this deck to dominate combat and outlast opposition.
