Why Play Adeline, Resplendent Cathar
Aggressive white decks and go-wide strategies gain a powerful engine that creates immediate board presence while growing larger each turn. The ability to generate attacking tokens for each opponent makes Adeline particularly devastating in multiplayer formats, potentially creating multiple 1/1s on every attack phase. Her vigilance allows you to attack freely while maintaining defensive capabilities, and her scaling power means she quickly becomes a significant threat as your board develops.Format Notes
Commander represents Adeline's strongest format, where her token generation scales with opponent count and political dynamics favor wide creature strategies. Pioneer and Modern see occasional play in aggressive Human tribal or white weenie builds, though her three-mana cost competes with other curve-toppers. Historic maintains similar positioning, with Adeline finding homes in creature-based aggressive decks that can support her mana requirements.Combos & Synergies
Intangible Virtue provides immediate anthem effects for both Adeline and her token army, creating explosive damage potential. Skullclamp turns her expendable Human tokens into card draw engines, maintaining resources while pressuring opponents. Wedding Announcement synergizes perfectly by creating early creatures to boost Adeline's power while providing additional token generation, establishing a formidable board presence that threatens lethal damage within turns.Featured in These Decks
