Legendary Creature — Human Warrior
Trample Whenever Felothar enters or attacks, you may sacrifice a nonland permanent. When you do, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
“Sacrifice creatures to pump your army and swing for lethal.”
Felothar, Dawn of the Abzan is a sacrifice outlet bundled into a evasive body, rewarding you for turning your permanents into fuel. The core gameplan is to build a creature-heavy deck with expendable threats—tokens, card draw engines, mana dorks—then sacrifice them to Felothar's trigger to pump your entire board. Each attack or entry becomes a mini-anthem that scales with how many creatures you've already assembled. You're essentially converting sacrificial card advantage into a growing army that closes games through combat damage and commander damage once you've built critical mass.
The deck thrives on synergy layers: sacrifice outlets generate value while feeding Felothar's triggers, tokens provide cheap fodder, and counter-synergies let you abuse sacrifice-heavy creatures like Viscera Seer or Zulaport Cutthroat. You'll often win by going wide with tokens, sacrificing a few to pump the rest, then swinging for lethal. The flexibility is huge—you can pivot toward aristocrats goodstuff, go creature-token-focused, or even lean into persist/undying creatures that return after being sacrificed.

Start with budget token generators like Bitterblossom, Dimir Infiltrator, and Ophiomancer instead of pricey lords; swap fetch lands for basic Abzan duals.
