Phabine, Boss's Confidant

Legendary Creature — Cat Advisor · {3}{R}{G}{W} · Green/Red/White commander

Creature tokens you control have haste. Parley — At the beginning of combat on your turn, each player reveals the top card of their library. For each land card revealed this way, you create a 1/1 green and white Citizen creature token. Then creatures you control get +1/+1 until end of turn for each nonland card revealed this way. Then each player draws a card.
