Phabine, Boss's Confidant
Legendary Creature — Cat Advisor
Creature tokens you control have haste. Parley — At the beginning of combat on your turn, each player reveals the top card of their library. For each land card revealed this way, you create a 1/1 green and white Citizen creature token. Then creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn for each nonland card revealed this way. Then each player draws a card.

Strategy
Phabine, Boss's Confidant is a political card-draw engine that rewards everyone at the table while building your own board presence. Every combat turn, you're generating Citizen tokens based on lands revealed and pumping your creatures based on nonland cards—while giving everyone a card. The deck wants to maximize this Parley trigger by playing token generators, haste outlets, and sacrifice synergies so your growing army of 1/1s becomes a real threat. You win by swinging in with a wide board that grows bigger each turn, sometimes storming off with sacrifice triggers or using anthems to turn your tokens into a lethal force.
The strategy leans into group-friendly politics: you're drawing cards, giving opponents cards, and creating a cooperative feel even as you edge toward victory. Include creatures that benefit from haste immediately, token doublers to amplify Phabine's output, and sacrifice outlets to convert your tokens into value. With the right shell, you're threatening lethal damage within a few turns while keeping the table happy—at least until you land the finishing blow.
