Legendary Creature — Human Bard Performer
This spell costs {1} less to cast for each creature that attacked this turn. Menace (This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.)
“Aggressive Red beats that gets cheaper when you attack.”
The Mary Janes rewards you for attacking early and often, getting cheaper the more creatures you've sent into combat. This is a classic aggressive Red strategy—you're building a wide board of creatures and turning them sideways while your commander becomes a cost-efficient threat that slots in seamlessly. Since she has menace, she demands multiple blockers, making her a real problem once you have even a modest board presence.
Your game plan is to fill the deck with efficient Red creatures, especially ones with haste or that encourage attacks (like raid creatures or those with prowess). Pump spells and anthem effects amplify your army, and cards that trigger on attacking or damage push you toward victory faster. The Mary Janes acts as both a cost-reducer and a resilient beater—cast her early if you've swung a lot already, or hold her back as a threat that gets progressively cheaper as the game develops.
