Aang, Airbending Master
Legendary Creature — Human Avatar Ally
When Aang enters, airbend another target creature. (Exile it. While it's exiled, its owner may cast it for {2} rather than its mana cost.) Whenever one or more creatures you control leave the battlefield without dying, you get an experience counter. At the beginning of your upkeep, create a 1/1 white Ally creature token for each experience counter you have.

Strategy
Aang is all about creating a self-sustaining token engine that rewards you for flickering and bouncing your creatures. When Aang enters, you temporarily exile a creature (your own or an opponent's) at a discount, which triggers your experience counter whenever creatures leave the battlefield without dying. As you accumulate experience counters, you generate an army of 1/1 Ally tokens each turn—essentially turning temporary exile effects into permanent value.
The core gameplan is to pair Aang with cards that bounce or flicker your creatures without killing them: think Ephemerate, Soulherder, or Brago, King Eternal. Each flicker triggers the experience counter engine, and before long you're making multiple tokens per turn. You win by going wide with tokens, swinging for commander damage with an enhanced Aang, or just overwhelming the table through sheer board presence. It's a tempo-friendly, grindy strategy that scales well in longer games.
