Sapling of Colfenor

Sapling of Colfenor is a resilient grind engine that turns combat into card advantage while managing your life total. Every attack triggers a top-deck gamble: you'll either hit a creature and wheel through your deck while gaining some life cushion, or whiff and keep swinging. The trick is stacking your deck with creatures of varying power and toughness so the life swing is favorable—low-power, high-toughness blockers like Treefolk or defensive creatures let you raid your library safely.

You're not trying to kill fast; instead, you're playing a midrange game where Sapling's indestructibility makes it nearly unkillable, letting you attack freely and convert your entire deck into your hand over time. Win by either amassing resources to fuel a big play, grinding opponents down with repeated life swings, or using your hand advantage to deploy a wide board and overwhelm. The deck naturally wants creatures with odd power/toughness ratios and some graveyard synergies so your whiffed attacks aren't fully wasted.
