Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy

Gameplan

Deploy a wide, aggressive board and swing with Taggerdy plus two attackers to trigger Battalion, drawing a card and cheating a creature into play tapped and attacking each combat. Pump Taggerdy's power to put progressively bigger threats directly into combat, snowballing your board until you alpha strike for lethal.

Key Cards

• Embercleave — Cheaply equips after a wide attack, spiking Taggerdy's power so you cheat huge creatures into play and threaten lethal trample.
• Combat Celebrant — Grants extra combat steps, doubling your Battalion triggers and free creature deployments each turn.
• Aurelia, the Warleader — Provides an extra combat phase to trigger Battalion twice while reinforcing the go-wide aggression.
• Iroas, God of Victory — Makes your team hard to block and gives indestructible attackers, protecting your swings into combat.
• Adeline, Resplendent Cathar — Floods the board with tokens to enable Battalion and keep multiple attackers online.

Upgrade Path

Add power-boosters and extra-combat enablers (Aurelia, Combat Celebrant, Moraug) to maximize free deployments and X-value cheats. Improve protection with Heroic Intervention and Boros Charm so wraths don't reset your engine, and tighten the curve with efficient one-drops plus token makers like Hero of Bladehold to reliably hit Battalion every turn. Round out with fast mana like Sol Ring and Smothering Tithe to deploy threats ahead of curve.
