Anafenza, Hold the Line
Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage is a compact commander for board resilience and attrition strategies. The card rewards decks that trade creatures by converting loss into lasting presence; with flash and first strike Anafenza itself answers early threats or slips through as a surprise attacker. This Near Mint Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm displays the card art with a clean foil sheen and crisp edges, suitable for play or display.
In practice Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage anchors a sacrifice or go-wide plan. Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies she endures 2 which gives a choice between putting two +1/+1 counters on her or creating a 2 2 white Spirit token. That triggered resilience shifts the tempo in long, grindy games and pairs naturally with sacrifice outlets, anthem effects, and buffs that capitalize on persistently growing threats. Add her to midrange white lists where each exchanged trade becomes forward progress.
