What a The Master, Gallifrey's End deck wants

- 4× A team pump that actually pumps tokens
- 4× Sacrifice a creature for no mana, repeatably
- 12× Make creature tokens — a static anthem or a go-wide commander needs a board to be wide
- 5× Actually remove one problem permanent — preventing its damage is not removing it
