Strategy
Justice, Vance Astrovik is a tempo-control flyer that rewards you for bouncing your own permanents. His enters ability bounces a nonland, nontoken permanent, and each time another permanent you control gets returned to hand, he grows a +1/+1 counter. The core gameplan is to build a deck full of cheap, high-impact permanents—creatures, artifacts, and enchantments—that can be bounced repeatedly to grow Justice into an evasive threat while also generating value. You're essentially flickering your own board to ramp up his clock while also disrupting opponents' strategies through tempo plays.
Win conditions center on turning Justice into a flying attacker that quickly deals 21 commander damage, possibly with extra benefits from card draw or ramp triggered by all those bounces. The deck pairs well with enter-the-battlefield effects, equipment synergies, and cheap interactive pieces that don't mind returning to hand. You'll use mana artifacts and card-draw engines to fuel repeated bounces, then swing through for the kill once Justice is sufficiently pumped.
