Strategy
Christine Chapel is a self-enabling threat that grows bigger every time you gain life. The deck's core strategy is to ramp into a diverse mana base (hitting different land names), triggering her entry ability for an immediate life boost, then leverage that life gain to pump her up into a serious voltron threat. You'll pair her with cards that generate repeated life gain—like Soul Warden effects, land ramp, and lifegain payoffs—so that each turn she's getting fatter while you're securing your board position.
The beauty here is that Christine cares about two separate axes: land diversity and life gain. You want to run a healthy mix of basics and utility lands to maximize her entry trigger, then stack on effects that turn life gain into a snowball effect. Cards like Scute Swarm, Arboreal Grazer, and Cultivate help you hit multiple land types quickly, while Essence Warden and similar effects turn your own creatures into life-gain engines. Once Christine becomes a 15+ power flyer in the air, she's usually game over via commander damage.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive dual lands; basic lands and green-based utility lands like Bojuka Bog still trigger land diversity. Swap pricey lifegain like Doubling Season for budget repeatable sources like Village Green Druid or Lone Rider.
