Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
When Siona enters, look at the top seven cards of your library. You may reveal an Aura card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Whenever an Aura you control becomes attached to a creature you control, create a 1/1 white Human Soldier creature token.

Strategy Guides
Enchantress Strategy Guide
Enchantress decks are for players who want each enchantment cast to replace itself and add another layer to the board. This strategy wants to chain cheap enchantments, using enchantress commanders, draw engines, and protective pieces, to win through constellation triggers, token makers, or an aura-based Voltron line. Unlike general Card Draw decks, Enchantress ties its cards to enchantment casts, and unlike Lifegain it treats life from Sythis-style triggers as support rather than the main engine. The best enchantment decks EDH players build feel incremental: ramp a little, draw a card, protect the engine, then convert the chain into threats.
Tokens Strategy Guide
Token decks are for players who want one card to become many bodies and then decide whether those bodies attack, block, draw cards, or fuel another engine. This strategy wants to flood the battlefield with creatures, using token commanders, repeatable generators, and anthem effects, to win through a go wide attack or by converting the swarm into damage, drain, or mana. Tokens is different from Aristocrats because making bodies comes first, from Counters because it grows wide instead of tall, and from Voltron because it spreads pressure across many creatures. The best token decks EDH players build reward patience against sweepers and careful timing on the finishing turn.
Combo Strategy Guide
Combo decks are for players who enjoy finding a narrow line, protecting it, and ending the game with specific cards working together. This strategy wants to assemble combo commanders, tutors, draw, and compact two-card or three-card packages, using infinite combos or deterministic loops, to win in one decisive moment. Unlike Spellslinger it is not paid for every spell cast, unlike Storm it does not need a long chain turn, and unlike Big Mana it does not rely on casting one enormous payoff. The best combo decks EDH players build balance speed with enough interaction to survive the table's disruption.
Voltron Strategy Guide
Voltron decks are for players who want the game to revolve around one protected attacker and the timing of each combat step. This strategy wants to build one creature, usually a commander, using equipment and auras for power, evasion, and protection, to win through 21 commander damage on each opponent. Unlike Tokens or Aggro, Voltron does not spread pressure across many bodies, and unlike broad Equipment decks the gear is focused on one threat rather than a wider artifact engine. The best Voltron commanders make commander damage decks feel like a resource puzzle: suit up, connect, protect the threat, then rebuild if the table answers it.
