Rydia, Summoner of Mist

Rydia is a landfall engine that rewards you for playing lands while offering a unique Saga recursion strategy. Your gameplan is to trigger landfall repeatedly—through fetch lands, ramp spells, and land tutors—to generate card advantage by discarding and drawing. This fills your graveyard with Sagas while keeping your hand fresh. The Summon ability turns your graveyard into a repeatable resource, letting you flash Sagas back into play at instant speed (when you have priority), creating value engines and game-winning effects. You're playing a midrange deck that grinds opponents out through card advantage and resilient threats.

Build around efficient landfall triggers and Sagas that generate value when they enter or have abilities that don't rely on progressing through their chapters. Cards like Omnath, Locus of Creation and The First Iroan Games create immediate impact when cheated back, while Sagas with sacrifice outlets or mana generation fit the strategy. Your win condition is usually combat damage from a stream of threats, or occasionally a Saga's effect closing out the game. Rydia herself isn't a fast clock, but she's a value engine that makes your whole deck function better.
