Vanquisher's Banner

Every tribal deck eventually hits the same wall: it floods the board, runs dry, and folds to anyone holding a sweeper and a fresh grip. This is the colorless answer to that problem, an anthem that doubles as a card-advantage engine without caring which colors the deck runs. The cost is the price of that agnosticism; a mono-colored version of the same effect would land cheaper, but a generic artifact welcomes any tribe regardless of identity. The static +1/+1 is the reward for bodies already committed; the split comes with the second clause, where the draw trigger fires on the cast, before the spell resolves, so it keeps refueling even as your creatures are being answered one by one. That timing is the whole engine: a deck deploying chosen-type threats turns every subsequent creature spell into a cantrip, compounding rather than stalling out. It rewards a deck that went deep on one creature type rather than a soup of unrelated bodies, which is exactly the deckbuilding tension it wants to enforce. The choose-a-type clause locks in at entry with no take-backs, so how much value the Banner returns depends entirely on how heavily you invested in the tribe before it ever hit the table.
