Limited summary

A tribal anthem with a token adventure stapled on: cast At the Door for X Dwarf tokens mid-game, then later cast the enchantment to give your chosen creature type +2/+2. In tribal decks this is both the go-wide engine and the payoff.

Archetypes

Gameplay notes

The tokens are Dwarves — naming Dwarf later pumps them all. You choose the type as the enchantment enters, so it flexes to whatever your board actually is.
