Phabine, Boss's Confidant
Parley is the mechanic doing the interesting work here: a symmetrical group-draw that hands every opponent a fresh card, then tries to make that generosity pay for itself. The reveals tilt the arithmetic your way. Every land anyone flips off the top becomes a Citizen for you, and every nonland pumps your whole team, so a table's worth of top-of-library variance gets funneled into your creatures and your swing. The price is card advantage handed to every opponent at once, a cost that repays itself only when you are already fielding enough bodies to grow and Citizens streaming in to widen the line.
The haste line carries that bargain. The two abilities are engineered to mesh: because Parley resolves as the combat step opens and the tokens it mints inherit haste from the static ability, a Citizen born in that window can join the attack immediately rather than idling a turn. The reveal is not just refueling; it is pressure applied the moment the cards flip. The 3/6 body reads as deliberate too, sturdy enough to survive a swing-back while the token engine churns, a defensive frame that also happens to marshal an army. Outwardly this looks like a charitable group-hug advisor, sharing draws around the table; structurally it is a token-swarm engine tuned to reward the one player who assembled the board to exploit it.
