Mana value2Rank#6,168
Build with WyrmBuild manuallyCard details

The Commander

When Jirina enters, exile target player's graveyard.

Sacrifice Jirina: Humans you control gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn.

Guide

Gameplan

Build a wide, aggressive Human tribal board in Orzhov colors and beat down with anthem-buffed soldiers. Jirina costs only two mana, comes down early to disrupt a graveyard, and stays back as insurance—sacrifice her to protect your entire Human team from a board wipe or removal-heavy turn, then swing for lethal.

Strengths

  • Cheap, two-mana commander that contributes to the board immediately
  • Built-in protection from board wipes and targeted removal via the sacrifice ability
  • Graveyard hate stapled onto a creature to slow reanimator/graveyard combo decks
  • Human is one of the deepest tribes, giving access to tons of lords and payoffs

Weaknesses

  • Sacrifice ability is one-shot and removes your commander from the board
  • No card advantage engine built in—can run out of gas after a wipe
  • Vulnerable to sweepers timed before you have mana up, or to exile-based removal
  • Aggro-only plan struggles against pillowfort and lifegain control

Key Cards

  • Champion of the Parish — Grows with every Human you play, becoming a massive early threat.
  • Thalia's Lieutenant — Anthem-on-a-stick that pumps the whole Human team when it enters.
  • Adeline, Resplendent Cathar — Generates a wave of Human tokens every combat to go truly wide.
  • Anointed Procession — Doubles your Human token output for explosive board states.
  • Skullclamp — Turns your small Humans into a relentless card-draw engine.
  • Cathars' Crusade — Snowballs counters across your team as Humans flood the board.

Upgrade Path

Add more anthems and token doublers (Anointed Procession, Coat of Arms) plus a Craterhoof-style finisher to convert width into instant kills. Improve the mana with fast rocks and dual lands, and lean into card advantage through Skullclamp, Welcoming Vampire, and Tocatli Honor Guard-style hatebears. For higher power, include Worldly Tutor/Enlightened Tutor to find finishers and sac outlets to maximize Jirina's protection trigger before a wipe.
