What a Ghalta and Mavren deck needs
Plays as combat trigger. What the commander asks of the other 99 — read from the card and checked by hand.
- token payoffs — anthems, sacrifice outlets and go-wide finishers (it makes tokens on repeat)
- a wide board that attacks every turn (the trigger fires on the attack)
