Character Background

Craig Boone, Novac Guard is a compact three‑mana 3/3 with lifelink and reach that leans into an aggro‑value, tempo plan: you want to attack wide so Boone accumulates quest counters and converts board presence into targeted removal or direct damage. Every combat with two or more attackers pumps two quest counters and forces opponents to either lose a creature or take damage equal to the counter total, so Boone excels in token or go‑wide red‑white lists that pressure life totals while maintaining staying power through lifegain and flyer defense. Deckbuilding tip: pair Boone with cheap token generators (Raise the Alarm, Legion’s Landing style effects) and an anthem like Intangible Virtue or Adanto Vanguard to reliably hit the two‑creature threshold; Embercleave or evasive pump helps push through lethal face damage when opponents start choosing to take hits. Boone’s strength is incremental value and combat‑based removal—build a suite of low‑cost attackers and tempo tools rather than a control or combo shell.
