Aragorn, Hornburg Hero
Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Attacking creatures you control have first strike and renown 1. (When a creature with renown 1 deals combat damage to a player, if it isn't renowned, put a +1/+1 counter on it and it becomes renowned.) Whenever a renowned creature you control deals combat damage to a player, double the number of +1/+1 counters on it.

Strategy
Aragorn, Hornburg Hero is all about turning your attackers into legendary threats by stacking +1/+1 counters. Your creatures enter the battlefield with first strike and renown 1, meaning they immediately start collecting counters the first time they deal combat damage. The real payoff is that whenever a renowned creature connects, you double all its counters—turning a modest 2/2 into a 4/4, then an 8/8, then a 16/16. This exponential growth is brutal and fast.
Your game plan is straightforward: play efficient creatures with evasion or protection, attack every turn, and watch them balloon in size. You're not doing anything fancy—just swinging for 40 damage by turn 5 or 6. Secondary synergies come from anthem effects (cards that pump your whole team), ways to give creatures haste and evasion, and cards that trigger when creatures deal damage. You can also use Naya's strengths to ramp into bigger threats or protect your attackers with combat tricks and indestructibility effects.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Swap expensive staples like Doubling Season or Atraxa for budget anthems like Intrepid Adversary, Embercleave (one-shot), and free evasion like Collector Ouphe. Ramp with Cultivate and Farseek instead of pricey manarocks.
