Sima Yi, Wei Field Marshal

Sima Yi, Wei Field Marshal is a straightforward big creature that scales with your mana base. Since her power equals your Swamp count, you're essentially turning land slots into a growing threat—the more Swamps you play, the bigger she gets. The core gameplan is to build a mono-black deck heavy on Swamps (both basic and utility lands like Bojuka Bog and Urza's Cave), ramp early, then swing in with an increasingly large flyer or evasive body.

The deck works best as a midrange or tempo strategy where Sima Yi applies pressure while you fill your graveyard and protect her with black's removal suite. You'll want consistent ways to make her evasive (flying, intimidate, or unblockability effects) and ways to protect her from removal. Since you're already committed to Swamps, you naturally get access to powerful black tutors, discard effects, and creature sacrifice outlets.
