Galadriel, Light of Valinor
Alliance solves a design problem that has dogged multicolor go-wide payoffs for years: how do you reward a stream of creatures without either running away on the first turn it lands or asking the player to overcommit into a board wipe. The answer here is a rotation. Each creature that follows this one triggers a menu, but the same mode cannot be chosen twice in a turn, so a flood of tokens cannot simply dump out mana or stack counters into a single lethal swing; it hands you one of each per turn and no more. That ceiling is per turn, not per turn cycle: with flash creatures or instant-speed token generation, an opponent's turn refreshes the menu, so a patient builder can wring the ramp, the anthem, and the refill out of both halves of a full go-around. The constraint is what turns a potentially oppressive trigger into a paced engine, and the three modes cover the three axes a creature-based deck runs out of: mana to deploy, board size to close, cards to keep going. The 3/3 body is deliberately unremarkable in combat, because the card is not asking to attack; it wants you flickering, tokening, and returning bodies around it while it converts each arrival into a resource of your choosing. The scry stapled to the draw mode is the tell that sequencing matters: with enough creatures, you collect all three modes in a single turn, and the order you take them in shapes what you dig toward next.
