Appa, Aang's Companion

Gameplan

Appa is a mono-white aggro/go-wide commander that turns your ground army into evasive attackers. Build a board of efficient white creatures and tokens, then alpha strike through the air as Appa grants flying each combat. You're racing to close games before slower decks set up, using anthems and extra-combat effects to maximize damage.

Key Cards

• Anointed Procession — Doubles your token production to flood the board for wider, more lethal swings.
• Skullclamp — Solves white's card-draw problem by sacrificing small tokens for fuel.
• Aetherflux Reservoir — White's lifegain-heavy shells can leverage it as an alternate combo finisher.
• Heroic Intervention — Protects your assembled board from the wraths that mono-white aggro fears most.
• Sun Titan — Recurs your cheap fallen permanents and equipment to grind back after removal.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana like Sol Ring, Smothering Tithe, and efficient white ramp to deploy threats ahead of the curve. Lean into anthems (Intangible Virtue, Cathars' Crusade) and extra-combat enablers (Aurelia, Combat Celebrant) to make each Appa swing lethal, and pack protection like Teferi's Protection and Flawless Maneuver against board wipes. Tighten the curve with cheap evasive creatures and card-advantage engines like Welcoming Vampire to offset white's draw weakness.
