Wise Yet Wary: Denethor, Ruling Steward
Meet Denethor, Ruling Steward, a strategic addition to your Magic arsenal that mirrors the vigilance needed in the face of darkness. A legendary creature, his abilities echo the weight of leadership and the costs of sacrifice. At the end of your turn, Denethor allows you to fortify your defenses by creating a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token if one of your controlled creatures has met its fate. This tactical edge can turn the tide of battle, providing a buffer against incoming threats while maintaining a resilient board presence.
But that's not all; Denethor’s secondary ability offers a powerful resource management tool. By sacrificing another creature, you can inflict a painful blow on your opponent while healing yourself for the same amount. Pair him with creatures that have enter-the-battlefield effects, such as Sacred Cat or Fleshbag Marauder, to maximize your strategic options in gameplay. Whether you're defending Gondor or simply outmaneuvering your opponent, Denethor is a wise steward of victory.
