Garza Zol, Plague Queen

Garza Zol is a flying threat that rewards you for dealing combat damage and cleaning up creatures in combat. Her core gameplan is to swing in, trigger her card draw ability, and use combat damage to grow into a larger threat over time. The kill creatures synergy creates a secondary payoff: whenever something you've damaged dies that turn, she gets bigger, turning combat into a snowballing advantage. You're essentially playing a tempo-focused midrange deck that uses evasion and direct damage effects to close out games quickly.

Build around Izzet-style spellslinger elements alongside her combat plan. Cheap damage spells like Burst Lightning, Bump in the Night, or Forked Bolt trigger her growth trigger while also dealing damage to opponents. Cards that force sacrifices or cause creatures to die during combat (like Fleshbag Marauder effects) maximize her +1/+1 counter triggers. Since she already has flying and haste, you can keep the mana curve low and focus on evasion, card advantage, and damage velocity. The goal is to turn Garza into an evasive, unkillable threat by mid-game while drawing extra cards to fuel your tempo advantage.
