Sigarda, Herons Grace

Reaganstorme

I'm struggling to find a deck list and planeswalker to support Sigarda that i like so i thought I'd come to the forums to canvas for some ideas.

Obviously her token generating ability stacks with Ulvenwald Mysteries, a green support, suggesting a green PW deck, *and Strength of Arms suggesting a White one, but I'm not taken with either. *Thanks Coconut99 for reminding me.

With seven PW to choose from (G1, G2, Ajani, Nissa, Nahiri, Kiora, and Sorin), what do you suggest? I have a lot of Rares and Mythics in those colours, but not all, so don't hesitate to recommend along those lines.

Thanks in advance.

I've gotten her as well, and to tell you the truth, I don't think we have the best walker for her at this time. Hopefully one of the later walkers to land with this set is a green/white or green/red so we can utilize some of the humans with that support!

G1 probably. Neither her nor her tokens are allies, so G2 is out, and most of the other humans are white so it's going to be pretty much vanilla white. Probably add Sword to catch as many summons as you can, a couple or ramps for cascade. Should be fast.

It seems like Thalia's Lieutenant is the obvious thing to do with her activate. Just seems like a worse version of the Gideon ally deck though.

I had some good runs with her in Ajani, Kiora and Nahiri decks. Using Abbot and/or Rumbler + Sword of the Animist to pop out human tokens was pretty quick with red/white. Eventually I took out Rumbler as she doesn't give it hexproof. Kiora I had a heavy focus on green gem changing to pop out human tokens.

Ultimately I'd use her for being a cheap flyer/blocker that has a perk of giving hexproof and can fill empty creature slot with tokens until I get something better.

I tried this combo and it works ok. I'm just not a fan of stacking all these token and +1/+1 animations.

Hmm...if you have it, Thalia’s Lieutenant, as it would keep pumping from the tokens, and there would be your 3 creature stacks. (I still need this, myself )

I was also going to say Hanweir Militia Captain for the same reason until I realized it spawned Cleric tokens, not Human Soldier tokens. Still, it will pump up based on whichever token comes out.

Odric, Lunarch Marshal is expensive, but has some nice utility. Strength of Arms would also boost your token generation.

That's all I can personally think of to synergize with this, really. I'd also say G1 as far as PW.

Its a shame they don't stack with the Murder Investigation tokens as well.

Thing is you have to choose to plan around using those tokens or not. If you do she's a two-slot creature making your third creature the imporant choice. If you don't use them, then she's less specific, slightly bigger but more vulnerable, Sphinx of the Final Word.

I'll prioritize other cards over her like Tyrant and Archangel of Tithes. I run her with G1 and Nahiri, and shes nice in some situations, Thalia's LT syncs well, and War Oracle is the only other human in my Nahiri deck. I mainly just use her to block, unless I need to give one of them hexproof.


Avaycn is probably a better fit for most decks if you bought her.

Hopefully a new PW and some more humans will open things up a bit.

What does hexproof on a player actually mean?

Is it just for effects that can target creatures or players? It doesn't work on Ob Nix's ultimate ability, for example.

So is it just red burn spells that it works on? What other spells target creatures or players?

Honestly Ive yet too see this hexproof in action. I can't keep her alive long enough to actually make an impact on the game.

Hmmm... Maybe Red/White to abuse Harness the Storm, Strength of Arms, and Volcanic Upheaval?
