In the neutral game before our engine is setup, Aura of Silence is great because we can repeatedly sacrifice copies to get around Yenna's restriction.

[[Privileged Position]], if you can pull it off, will give your board total hexproof if copied. [[Legolas's Quick Reflexes]] is brutal, turning Yenna into a machine gun while also giving her guaranteed hexproof. [[Alseid of Life's Bounty]] gives us protection, and can act as a body for some of our empowering auras with built-in lifelink.

They... aren't great. But for the shenanigans above to ensue, we gotta take what we can get. [[Chicken Troupe]] is undoubtedly the best of these with its MV of 2.

[[Mystic Doom Sandwich]] can give lifelink, and [[Happy Dead Squirrel]] can give us ramp or infect if we ever get the tickets. [[Carnival Elephant Meteor]] can get us some cards in exchange for a token. [[Urza's Dark Cannonball]] can give Shadow. \n\n\nCONCLUSION\n\nThis deck is a mess to play once you get going, so I've played it online but haven't built it in paper. It's very clear why Yenna's ability has the name clause: without it, you can do some pretty insane stuff. Let me know what you think!\n\n \n"}]}
