Deck list.

2/3 Bird Bard with flying. Prepare card, not an adventure: from hand she is only ever a creature. Whenever you cast a creature spell she becomes prepared, and while she is prepared on the battlefield you may cast a copy of Heroic Stanza ( sorcery: put a +1/+1 counter on target creature); doing so unprepares her until your next creature cast. The copy is a real cast, so it picks up casualty 1 with Silverquill out. Steady counter engine.

2/1 lifelink. Gets +1/+1 per Equipment you CONTROL, attached to anything or not. Modest ceiling: with three Equipment on the battlefield he's a 5/4. Suit him with Colossus Hammer (one of the three) for a 15/14 lifelink swing.

3/2. ETB choose one: each player sacrifices a token creature, or a nontoken creature, or an enchantment, of their choice. Modal symmetric removal that hits the table without burning your own best body.

5/4 mono-black Human Knight. FF flavor name for Syr Konrad, the Grim. Whenever ANOTHER creature dies (his own death doesn't ping), or a creature card hits a graveyard from anywhere other than the battlefield, or a creature card leaves your graveyard, deals 1 damage to each opponent. : each player mills 1. Casualty sac plus recursion makes him a faucet.

2/2 with menace. Whenever another creature or artifact you control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Gabranth. Casualty fodder grows him every turn cycle.

2/3 Human Warlock. Whenever an enchantment you control enters, tap and goad a creature. Whenever creatures enchanted by an Aura you control attack, draw a card. Aura-tribal engine that protects Silverquill once Spirit Mantle lands.

3/5. Golden Rule: whenever ANY token enters (yours or an opponent's), YOU may have a target player other than its controller create a copy of it; you draw a card only if an opponent created the copy. Only once each turn. Turns every Inkling and Servo into a card and a board-spread.

2/3. Whenever you cast a spell you don't own, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. Activated ability: , sacrifice ANOTHER creature (she can't sac herself): exile target instant or sorcery card from an opponent's graveyard; you may cast it this turn with mana of any type. Activate only as a sorcery. Steal-spell value that pairs with the casualty sac engine.

2/4. Whenever Rufus attacks, if you don't control a creature named Darkstar, create Darkstar, a legendary 2/2 white and black Dog token. Steady one-token-per-attack feed for the casualty sacrifice.

2/2 mono-white Human Knight. FF flavor name for Danitha Capashen, Paragon. First strike, vigilance, lifelink. Aura and Equipment SPELLS you cast cost less to cast; Vehicles get no discount, so Smuggler's Copter is full price. With him on board: Hammer casts for , Formalwear for , Greatsword for , Spirit Mantle for . The discount is on the cast itself, not the equip activation. Hammer still equips for regardless.

3/4 Human Knight. When a creature you control attacks alone, it has double strike until end of turn. When Squall hits a player, return a permanent card with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. Recursion engine that wants a one-creature swing.

3/3 Cat Cleric. ETB creates one 1/1 white and black Inkling token with flying. Casualty fuel and a chump-flier on the same card.

5/4 Troll Warlock with ward (discard a card). Repartee: whenever you cast an instant or sorcery targeting a creature, return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Late-game grinder that turns every removal spell into a free reanimate.

3/3 Troll Warlock. Upkeep surveil 1, then if 3+ creatures are in your graveyard it becomes prepared. The prepared spell is Reanimate: put a creature card from any graveyard onto the battlefield under your control, you lose life equal to its mana value. Pulls from any yard, not just yours.

3/3 Cat Cleric with first strike. Enters prepared: you may cast a copy of its sorcery side, giving a creature +1/+0 and flying until end of turn. Hard-cast body or fire the prepared copy for evasion.
