Strategy
Aveline de Grandpré is a deathtouch engine that rewards you for dealing combat damage with card advantage in the form of +1/+1 counters. Your gameplan is to assemble a small army of deathtouch creatures—ideally including Aveline herself—then swing in and watch them grow exponentially. Every hit triggers her ability, turning your assassins into legitimate threats that only get bigger.
The disguise mechanic is a bonus that lets you sneak Aveline in early as a 2/2 blocker for just three mana, then flip her for a surprise power boost later. You win through commander damage or a wide board of oversized deathtouch creatures that your opponents can't safely block. The deck leans into creature tutors, cheap deathtouch creatures, and counter synergies to make combat inevitable.
