Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This Ghalta, Primal Hunger deck focuses on playing big creatures and swinging for big damage. The deck is monocolor and only plays two utility lands, simplifying mana resource management. Included cards are selected for effects that should be easy to understand and resolve. Moreover, the variety of effects are a teaching tool, covering many core gameplay mechanics (draw, keywords, power, cost, casting; card, spell, and permanent types; steps and phases.) Keywords referenced in the deck are evergreen or close to evergreen. It's not a strictly budget deck, but is relatively affordable. Finally, this deck pulls off plenty of good old Timmy shenanigans, and what new magic player doesn't love pulling off those big plays? \n\nOther cards considered but felt to be too expensive or complicated (or just using non-evergreen keywords) are in the maybeboard.\n"}]}
