Deck overview

This deck executes a focused Bant Voltron strategy helmed by Galea, Kindler of Hope. The primary game plan accelerates into an early Galea deployment on Turn 3 or 4, leveraging her continuous static ability to cast Equipment and Auras straight from the top of the library while bypassing attachment costs. The deck stacks lethal combat enhancements like Belt of Giant Strength, Power Fist, and Bone Sabres onto Galea or backup threats like Cloud, Midgar Mercenary and Questing Beast. Evasive artifacts such as Trailblazer's Boots and Winged Boots ensure damage connects against blockers. Robust defensive options like Clever Concealment and Robe of Stars shield your heavily invested threats from removal and sweepers. With high functional redundancy among equipment pieces, the deck maintains steady pressure, knocking out opponents one by one in sequential combat steps to close the game by Turn 7.
