Hearthhull, the Worldseed
Sacrifice lands to draw cards and grow Hearthhull into a large, flying, vigilant, and hasty threat that also deals incremental damage to opponents, leveraging land destruction and board presence.
Inspirit, Flagship Vessel
Utilize artifact creatures and tap abilities to place charge counters, granting hexproof and indestructibility to artifacts, aiming for artifact synergy to control the board and outlast opponents.
Kilo, Apogee Mind
Tap to proliferate, increasing counters on permanents and players to accelerate growth and create overwhelming advantages through exponential counter manipulation.
Szarel, Genesis Shepherd
Recursion and sacrifice focused, playing creatures from the graveyard and enhancing board presence by sacrificing non-token permanents to distribute +1/+1 counters on other creatures.
