Character Background
At three mana, Iroh, Tea Master is a value engine for midrange/token decks that favor incremental advantage and political plays — he makes a Food on entry and can repeatedly manufacture Ally bodies by deliberately gifting your own permanents to opponents at the beginning of combat. The tactical twist is that the Ally’s size scales with how many permanents you own that your opponents control, so handing away cheap lands, utility artifacts, or expendable creatures becomes a way to grow a threat rather than just a concession; that makes him more about long-term value and table politics than pure aggro or combo. Deckbuilding tips: include blink effects like Cloudshift or Ghostly Flicker to reuse Iroh’s ETB and combat window, Doubling Season or Hardened Scales to inflate the +1/+1 counters, and cheap utility permanents (Sol Ring, signets, spare lands) you don’t mind gifting. Also add sacrifice outlets to convert Food and small Allies into card advantage or extra triggers — Iroh rewards careful setup and repeated value plays.
