Renata, Called to the Hunt

Legendary Enchantment Creature — Demigod

Renata wants a deck that keeps making its creatures bigger turn after turn. It also works in a deck built around Demigods or Gods / Devotion.

Renata's power is equal to your devotion to green. (Each green in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to green.)
