Firja, Judge of Valor
$0.28
Legendary Creature — Angel Cleric

Orzhov spells-and-value deck that casts two spells a turn to dig with Firja, then wins through reanimation, lifegain or combos.
Read more
Firja is a 2/4 flier with lifelink. Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, you look at the top three cards of your library, put one into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. That rewards cheap instants and rituals, and it fills the graveyard, so most builds pair it with reanimation and recursion. The lifelink body also helps lifegain packages and makes Firja a decent blocker in the meantime.
In the recorded games, Firja showed up in a few different shapes. Some lists leaned on reanimation, bringing back Dreadhound or looping with Karmic Guide. Others played lifegain with Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Soul Warden. Price of Fame stood out, since it removes a legend and surveils too. Component Pouch helped fix mana for two-spell turns. Only seven games were recorded. Blasphemous Act and other sweepers reset its board, though the graveyard let it rebuild. Its clearest losses came against faster combo decks that won before Firja's value added up.
