Strategy
Nakia is a green Hero who rewards you for casting your commander repeatedly—each time she enters, you snag the monarch title and its steady card draw. Your core gameplan is to build a +1/+1 counter-focused deck that leverages her activated ability to pump creatures and Vehicles, turning your board into a growing threat. She slots perfectly into a strategy that abuses flicker effects, reanimation, or natural recursion to reset her entry trigger, flooding the board with counters while staying ahead on cards via the monarch mechanic. You'll win through combat damage via an army of countered-up creatures, often supported by equipment and Vehicles that scale with your anthem effects.
