Guide

Gameplan

Rienne, Angel of Rebirth is a Naya value engine that flings out aggressive multicolored creatures, recurring them from death to your hand for nonstop pressure. You ramp into a board of gold creatures, attack with the team buffed by Rienne's anthem, and grind out opponents through superior card advantage and resilience. Win by going wide/tall with multicolored beaters or by abusing repeatable ETB effects from recursive bodies.

Strengths

Built-in recursion makes your multicolored creatures extremely hard to kill via removal or chump-blocking trades
Free +1/+0 anthem turns a gold-creature board into a fast clock
Color identity gives access to elite Naya ramp, removal, and tutors
Synergizes with ETB and death triggers since creatures keep coming back to hand

Weaknesses

Recursion only works while Rienne is on the battlefield, so she's a removal magnet
Bounce-to-hand still costs you mana to recast, which can be tempo-negative
Heavily reliant on multicolored creatures, narrowing deckbuilding
Vulnerable to exile-based removal and board wipes that exile
No inherent ramp or card draw from the command zone beyond recursion

Key Cards

Knight of the Reliquary — A premier multicolored creature that fetches lands and grows, returning to hand to be redeployed.
Mayael the Anima — Cheats huge multicolored creatures into play repeatedly with Rienne protecting your investments.
Reyhan, Last of the Abzan — Banks counters from dying gold creatures, turning Rienne's death recursion into permanent growth.
Aragorn, the Uniter — A multicolored powerhouse whose ETB triggers can be reused thanks to Rienne's bounce.
Wort, the Raidmother — Generates tokens and copies spells, and as a gold creature benefits from the anthem and recursion.
Eladamri's Call — Tutors any creature, letting you find Rienne or a key multicolored threat on demand.

Upgrade Path

Lean harder into mana acceleration (Birds of Paradise, Cultivate, Sakura-Tribe Elder) so you can recast bounced creatures without losing tempo. Add powerful multicolored ETB engines and free sacrifice outlets to convert the recursion into a value loop, plus protection like Heroic Intervention and Teferi's Protection to shield Rienne. Top-end tutors and a couple of clean combos (e.g., creatures with abusable ETBs and reanimation) push the deck from midrange grind into a faster, more reliable kill.
