Reyhan, Last of the Abzan

Reyhan is all about moving +1/+1 counters around your board as creatures die. You start with three counters on Reyhan herself, and every time one of your creatures bites the dust—whether sacrificed, blocked, or removed—you get to transfer those counters to another creature. This turns your graveyard into a resource and makes sacrifice outlets incredibly valuable.

Your core gameplan is building a "counter train" where you sacrifice creatures to draw cards, drain opponents, or generate value, then redistribute their counters to a growing threat. Cards like Viscera Seer, Ashnod's Altar, and Zulaport Cutthroat turn your creatures into fuel while keeping the counter train moving. Over time, you'll have a huge attacker (or a whole team of them) while slowly grinding out card advantage and life drain.

You win through commander damage or a wide board of countered creatures. The beauty is you never feel like you're "wasting" your creatures—they always leave something behind. If you want a second commander, partners like Tymna the Weaver or Thrasios, Triton Hero add card draw and mana acceleration to the formula.
