Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh — Courtly Conspirator
Cleopatra, Exiled Pharaoh plays like a commander of subtle escalation. Casting her for {2}{B}{G} gives you a 2 4 body that naturally advances legendary decks by placing +1/+1 counters on up to two other legendary creatures at your end step. The Allies ability rewards you for building a board of named threats and turns incremental growth into long term advantage.
Her Betrayal trigger converts those accumulated counters into card advantage when a legendary creature dies and balances the benefit with a two life cost. In practical play Cleopatra works best in midrange or aristocrat style shells where you can trade creatures, recur them, or sacrifice them to capitalize on the draw triggers. If you want consistent value and tempo from your legends, she is a clean inclusion that scales as the table stabilizes.
