Strategy
Firja, Judge of Valor rewards you for casting multiple spells per turn by turning those spells into card advantage. Her flying and lifelink make her a reasonable blocker and life total manager while you're setting up, but the real appeal is that second spell trigger—it's essentially a repeatable draw effect that fills your graveyard for later payoffs.
Build this as a midrange deck that leverages cheap interaction and cantrips to reliably hit that second spell trigger every turn. You want low-cost removal, card draw, and utility creatures that generate value without requiring heavy mana investment. The graveyard-filling aspect opens doors to reanimation synergies, so pairing Firja with cards that benefit from a stocked yard (like Snapcaster Mage effects or Kroxa) creates a cohesive game plan.
You'll win through a mix of evasive combat damage (Firja plus flying threats), incremental life gain pressure, and grinding out advantage over time. This isn't a fast combo deck—it's a deliberate value engine that turns your spell-slinging into overwhelming card advantage.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use cheaper cantrips like Counterspell alternatives and basic creature removal to hit the spell trigger, and fill graveyard slots with bulk reanimation like Unearth instead of Snapcaster Mage.
