Character Background
Sephiroth, Planet's Heir reads like a midrange/value engine with a control bent: his enter-the-battlefield -2/-2 sweeps small blockers while his death-tracking growth turns those sweeps into permanent advantage, and vigilance lets him both pressure life totals and still serve as a blocker. Thematically he feels like a cosmic avatar who consumes battlefield life to become the dominant threat rather than relying on cheap aggression. In practice build around board control: include efficient targeted removal (Go for the Throat, Fatal Push) and one or two mass-removal pieces (Toxic Deluge or Damnation) to reliably trigger multiple +1/+1 counters, then protect him with countermagic or bounce so he can accumulate threats. Specific synergies include proliferation (Inexorable Tide or Contagion Engine) to accelerate counters and recursion/reanimation to reuse his ETB; a package of card advantage and interaction turns Sephiroth into a late-game finisher rather than a fragile top-deck.
