Strategy
Folk Hero is a card-draw engine for creature-type-focused decks. You pick a creature type when building around it—Elves, Humans, Clerics, whatever—and then every spell you cast that shares that type draws you a card (once per turn). The beauty is that this works with any creature type, so you're not locked into one strategy; you're just rewarded for doing what you were already planning to do.
Your win condition flows naturally from your chosen tribe. You'll ramp and fill the board with creatures of your type, turning on your payoff cards (lords, aristocrat outlets, or token generators). Folk Hero keeps your hand full so you're never stuck, turning incremental tribal synergies into a consistent card advantage engine. By turn 4–6, you'll have a full grip and a board presence that demands answers.

Budget Build
Pick an affordable tribe like Humans or Clerics and lean on reprints; Intrepid Adversary and Luminarch Aspirant are cheap lord effects that synergize perfectly.
