Strategy
Lathiel is a straightforward lifegain engine that turns your healing into board presence. Every time you gain life during a turn, Lathiel lets you distribute that many +1/+1 counters among your creatures at end step—so a single gain-5-life effect becomes five free power pumps spread around your team. The deck stacks lifegain sources (both passive and active) to fuel consistent counter generation, then swings in with an oversized army. You're not trying to combo off or play control; you're just gaining life naturally while your creatures get bigger and bigger each turn.
