Vorthos, Steward of Myth

Vorthos is a unique build-around that rewards you for playing cards featuring a specific Magic character across the game's entire history. When you cast him, you pick a character—maybe Liliana, Jace, or Chandra—and every card depicting that character in name, flavor text, or art costs five generic mana less to cast. This turns normally expensive spells into bargains, letting you ramp into powerful plays way ahead of schedule.

The core gameplan is to research your chosen character, stock your deck with as many cards featuring them as possible, then abuse the mana discount to cast huge threats ahead of curve. You'll want to pick a character with deep representation across Magic's history—Liliana has dozens of cards, for instance. Once you're casting 7-drops for 2 mana, you'll quickly overwhelm opponents with value and tempo. The deck rewards preparation and creativity, since finding obscure character appearances becomes part of the fun.
