Character Background

Craig Boone, Novac Guard is a compact, incremental value piece best suited to go-wide aggro or a tempo-midrange shell that wants steady, inevitable removal. His reach and lifelink make him a useful stabilizer against flyers while his One for My Baby trigger turns ordinary multi-attacks into recurring removal or raw damage: every time you press with two or more attackers he accrues counters and either fries a blocker or forces an opponent to take damage instead, creating constant pressure and favorable trades as the game goes on. Build him into a token/creature-dense Boros list—include cheap one-drops and token generators like Raise the Alarm or Legion’s Landing to reliably activate him, and protect him with Lightning Greaves or Mother of Runes so he can keep accumulating counters. He also rewards anthem effects (Intangible Virtue) and, if splashing or in singleton formats, proliferate or counter-doubling effects to accelerate his clock. In short: a repeatable removal engine that leans aggro/value and punishes passive blockers.
