Amalia's Quiet Calculations
Amalia Benavides Aguirre rewards careful sequencing and life gain triggers. A Legendary Creature Vampire Scout, Amalia sits at the table as a two power two toughness threat that forces opponents to respect ward and punishes sloppy trades. Play her when you can reliably gain life or build explore synergies and she will steadily grow while digging for lands and answers.
Amalia Benavides Aguirre plays well in midrange shells that combine incremental gains and repeatable card advantage. The explore mechanic keeps pressure on your plan by converting nonlands into counters and by smoothing draws when you hit land. Treat her as a utility commander in creature decks or a value piece in a control list where the ward tax buys you time and the potential board sweep if her power hits twenty can close games unexpectedly.
