Strategy
Harald is a natural leader for an Elf-Warrior deck that leverages efficient creatures with built-in card advantage. His menace ability makes him a threat that's hard to block early, while his ETB effect tutors up threats or utility creatures, giving you repeatable value that smooths out your draws. The deck wants to build a board of small efficient threats—especially Elves and Warriors—that grow dangerous quickly through lords, +1/+1 counters, or sacrifice synergies.
Your core game plan is to curve out efficiently, using Harald's tutoring to find exactly the creatures you need at each stage. Pair this with anthem effects and sacrifice outlets to turn your army into a deadly force. You're playing midrange with an aggressive lean: establish a presence early, protect it with removal, and close out games before opponents stabilize. Harald himself dodges blockers with menace, so he's a reliable damage source even when your board gets cluttered.
