Character Background
Guide of Souls reads like a compact hymn to go-wide strategies: a one-mana Human Cleric that turns every creature entry into incremental life and energy, setting up a steady currency for its attack trigger. The attacking ability — pay EEE to give an attacking creature two +1/+1 counters, a flying counter, and the Angel type — rewards token decks and value-based aggro that can reliably flood the board with cheap bodies and then invest energy into a single evasive threat. Practically, build it into white weenie or token midrange lists with repeatable token generators (Raise the Alarm, Lingering Souls-style effects) and anthem packages (Intangible Virtue, Cathars’ Crusade-style synergies) so the energy income scales each turn; consider a couple dedicated energy sources or artifacts if you want to activate the buff every combat. It also slots into Angel-support shells or +1/+1 counter decks, where turning a creature into an Angel or stacking counters creates late-game inevitability while the life gain buys time.
