Galea AuraStrat2 by SnoopyKiwi

Format: Commander

Commander: Galea, Kindler of Hope

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Bant Aura/Equipment Voltron deck helmed by Galea, Kindler of Hope, built to chain Auras and Equipment off the top of the library and turn Galea into a massive, unblockable, double-striking threat. The primary win condition is commander damage: pump Galea with Ancestral Mask, All That Glitters, and Ethereal Armor, grant evasion via Steel of the Godhead or Aqueous Form, and close with Finest Hour extra combats or Holy Avenger double strike. The deck has deep redundancy in alternate carriers - Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice, Bruna, Light of Alabaster, Armored Skyhunter, and Sovereigns of Lost Alara all tutor or attach Auras - plus a strong enchantress draw core in Sythis, Harvest's Hand and Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor. It plays a patient, value-driven game that explodes into a one-shot kill once Galea is suited up.
