Vona de Iedo, the Antifex
Legendary Creature — Vampire Cleric Knight

Strategy
Vona de Iedo is a premium removal threat that generates value by destroying your opponents' best permanents while building your own board. Every time she enters—whether cast or blinked—you get to exile a troublesome nonland permanent, then potentially conjure a duplicate into your hand that can be cast with any color of mana. This turns your opponents' best cards into your resources, creating an asymmetrical advantage that only grows as you recur her.
The core gameplan revolves around both removal and theft synergies. You're playing a tempo-focused midrange deck that grinds out value through repeated ETB effects. Blink effects like Soulherder or Ephemerate let you trigger Vona multiple times per turn, while sacrifice outlets reward you for clearing blockers and threatening commander damage. Since she has menace and cheap copies of stolen permanents flood your hand, you can pivot into a combat-focused finish or simply generate so much value that opponents can't keep up.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive fetches and mana rocks; use basic lands and Orzhov dual lands like Shambling Vent. Replace Soulherder with cheaper repeatable blink like Ephemerate or Soulherder's budget cousin Flickering Ward.
