Hanna, Ship's Navigator

Gameplan

Hanna is a value engine that turns artifacts and enchantments into a recurring resource, letting you replay your best permanents over and over. The deck grinds opponents out by attrition, locking the board with stax pieces or assembling artifact/enchantment combos while reusing key pieces from the graveyard each turn. You win slowly through inevitability rather than fast aggression.

Key Cards

• Open the Vaults — Mass-returns all your artifacts and enchantments at once, the ultimate Hanna recovery payoff.
• Sun Titan — A second recursion engine that retrieves Hanna herself plus cheap permanents each attack.
• Academy Ruins — Buys back artifacts from your graveyard, redundantly extending Hanna's recursion plan.
• Solemnity — Combos with charge-counter pieces and enables lock pieces in an enchantment-heavy build.
• Sword of the Animists — Equipment-based ramp and value that Hanna can rebuy if it ever dies.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana and artifact ramp (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Signets) to offset Hanna's slow, expensive activation, and lean into a tight wincon like a Mindslaver/Academy Ruins lock or Approach of the Second Sun. Improve tutors and protection (Enlightened Tutor, Swords to Plowshares, counterspells) so you can find and defend your engine, and consider a stax shell with Winter Orb and Static Orb that you break parity on via recursion.
