Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie
Legendary Creature — Human Cleric
When Vanille enters, mill two cards, then return a permanent card from your graveyard to your hand. At the beginning of your first main phase, if you both own and control Vanille and a creature named Fang, Fearless l'Cie, you may pay {3}{B}{G}. If you do, exile them, then meld them into Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance.

Strategy
Vanille is a self-mill engine that bridges graveyard value and creature synergies. When she enters, you mill two cards and recur a permanent—this sets up your graveyard while landing threats directly into play. The deck wants to abuse this ETB repeatedly through blink effects, reanimation, or sacrifice outlets, turning mill into a resource rather than a drawback. You're essentially filling your graveyard with threats while rebuilding your board each turn.
The meld payoff with Fang is a neat bonus if you're running a dedicated Fang line, but honestly the real power is in the recurring mill-and-return loop. Pair Vanille with cards that trigger off ETBs, sacrifice outlets that benefit from creature death, and plenty of cheap permanents to recur. Your game plan is to grind value until you've assembled a board your opponents can't answer—whether that's through aristocrat synergies, reanimator chains, or pure card advantage.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey fetchlands and dual lands; use basics with green-black mana producers like Llanowar Elves and Cultivate instead. Budget Zulaport Cutthroat and Viscera Seer stand in for premium sacrifice outlets.
