Fynn, the Fangbearer

📖 How to build Fynn, the Fangbearer

Fynn, the Fangbearer is a two-mana green Human Warrior whose strength comes from deathtouch. Whenever a creature you control with deathtouch deals combat damage to a player, that player gets two poison counters, and a player with ten or more loses the game. The game plan is to get deathtouch creatures into combat and connect with them repeatedly, building poison over several hits rather than relying on raw damage.

Build around ways to put deathtouch creatures into combat and keep them there. Ramp spells such as Cultivate, Farseek, Nature's Lore, Rampant Growth, Kodama's Reach, and Three Visits help you deploy threats quickly, and mana creatures like Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, and Elvish Mystic speed that up further. Heroic Intervention can protect key attackers, and Beast Within can answer problem permanents. Garruk's Uprising is another green card worth testing in this shell.

Fynn's main weakness is that it does nothing on its own. Its ability only triggers when a deathtouch creature deals combat damage to a player, so it stalls if your board is empty, if blockers stop your attackers, or if your deathtouch creatures never connect. As a legendary creature, it is also vulnerable to removal. Plan for redundant threats and protection so the plan survives losing your key creature.
