Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-green power-matters stompy deck helmed by Ghalta, Primal Hunger. The plan is classic green ramp: flood the board with elves and dorks, convert that power into a nearly-free Ghalta, Primal Hunger, then crush the table with trampling beaters and combat multipliers. Dense creature tutors (Green Sun's Zenith, Natural Order, Finale of Devastation, Tooth and Nail) and mana engines (Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Circle of Dreams Druid, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx) guarantee access to finishers. Primary wins come from combat-Pathbreaker Ibex, Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Jumbo Cactuar, and an X=10+ Finale of Devastation-supported by a light equipment package that turns Ghalta into a resilient Voltron threat. The deck plays as a fast, linear beatdown machine that leverages raw board power rather than intricate combos.
