Iroh, Dragon of the West
Hey, everyone. I thought about building Iroh in a bit of a different way. The theme of the deck is basically "Uncle Iroh teaches goblins how to play with fire". Basically, I want to get enough goblins or other small creatures so that I can generate a lot of mana during combat through firebending and then cast big X spells, or repeatable firebreathing/other effects. Goblins seem like a fun way of doing it.
However, while starting the brew I noticed that I would need Iroh on the board for at least 2 turns before amassing firebending mana, since it only gives counters when it attacks, while it gives firebending only on the beginning of combat.
So, I'm looking for cards that might accelerate this. The problem is that Iroh is monored, and it is difficult to give a large amount of counters in the color. So I want to ask if any of you know of any ways around this.
Right now the only card that I found that would solve the problem somewhat would be [[Duchess, Wayward Tavernkeep]], since Iroh doesnt care which type of counter is on the creature. I tried scryfall but no luck, and the tagger didn't help me a lot too. Do you have any suggestions?
