Jirina, Dauntless General

Jirina is a flexible Human lord that wants to build wide with creature tokens while staying resilient. The deck leans into Orzhov (White-Black) to maximize Human synergies—cards like Intrepid Adversary, Recruiter of the Guard, and Thalia's Lancers help you assemble a growing army of 1/1s and lords that pump them. Your gameplan is straightforward: generate tokens, stack lords to push damage, and use Jirina's sacrifice ability as a clutch protection spell when your board gets targeted by sweepers or mass removal.

The graveyard exile on entry is a bonus that occasionally shuts down reanimator decks or mill strategies, but don't build around it. Instead, focus on the token-generation engine. Cards like Intrepid Adversary, Legion's Landing, and Benalish Marshal let you go wide quickly. Pair those with value engines like Cathars' Crusade or Icon of Ancestry, and you'll have a snowballing board that's hard to stop.

You win by swinging in with a huge army of Humans, often pumped by lords and anthem effects. The sacrifice outlet doubles as both a pressure valve against board wipes and a way to protect your key creatures. This is a straightforward aggro-midrange deck that rewards tight sequencing but forgives new players with its clear game plan.
