While we already saw the power of Thalia in powered formats, where she can hate out combo decks and slow down sweepers, such as in the Five-Color Humans deck above, the card has also enjoyed a great deal of success as just a good card for aggressive, creature-heavy decks. Creatures (27) 3 Fiend Hunter 4 Champion of the Parish 3 Avacyn's Pilgrim 3 Mayor of Avabruck 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 2 Restoration Angel 3 Sigarda, Host of Herons 4 Silverblade Paladin 2 Druid's Familiar Lands (25) Spells (8) While Thalias ability is so good, she would likely see a fair bit of play even without first strike, its actually the first strike that really gets her over the finish line
Its relatively cheap now, and is most commonly used in combo decks where it can find you a lot of specific creatures that you might need
Printing Tips Recommended layer height: 0.2 mm or finer for a precise fit
I have been extremely vocal about Phyrexian Altar being my favorite card since I was a kid
They might have some cool art or seem like a fun card, but if you cant properly use it then its a waste of your wildcard
