Strategy
Bruna, the Fading Light is a reanimation engine wrapped in a flying, vigilant body. Your game plan centers on filling your graveyard with Angels and Humans—either through self-mill, discard outlets, or natural draw—then casting Bruna to reanimate one of them while also getting a 5/7 flyer on the board. This gives you both immediate board presence and a way to recover key creatures from the bin, generating serious value each time you cast her.
The deck wants to play as midrange graveyard control, staying alive early with spot removal and card draw while stocking your yard with targets. Once you hit critical mass, Bruna becomes a reanimation engine that also threatens to meld into Gisela, the Broken Blade if you draw her—an enormous game-ending threat. You're looking to win through a combination of evasive creatures, anthem effects, and grinding value until you can attack for lethal or set up an unstoppable board state.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Replace expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor with basic graveyard fillers like Satyr Wayfinder and Stitcher's Supplier; use humble removal like Condemn and Blessed Alliance instead of pricey interaction.
