Strategy
Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is a Villain-matters commander that turns your Villains into Heroes, then uses them to connive repeatedly for card draw and +1/+1 counters. Your gameplan is straightforward: fill your deck with Villain creatures (especially cheap ones), cast them, and tap Valentina to make them connive, drawing cards and pumping your board simultaneously. The deck plays like a midrange engine—you're generating incremental value each turn while building a threatening board state. As you draw cards and discard strategically, your creatures grow larger and you hit your land drops and key pieces, eventually winning through combat damage with a buffed-up creature army or using Plan enchantments to unlock powerful payoffs.

Budget Build
