Aura of Courage by RetnuhThaOTD

Format: Commander

Commander: Galea, Kindler of Hope

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Galea, Kindler of Hope is the engine of a Bant Aura/Equipment voltron deck. Her top-of-library casting turns Sram, Senior Edificer-style draw, cantrip auras, and cheap pump into a snowball; Equipment cast from the top auto-attaches, so Colossus Hammer, Belt of Giant Strength, and Holy Avenger turn Galea into a one-shot commander. The plan is ramp into Galea, use top-deck manipulation and enchantress draw to find boots and hammers, then attack each opponent in turn. Secondary paths include token generation from Moonsilver Spear and Verdant Embrace plus selective removal; Sram and Puresteel Paladin are a hidden draw engine that keeps the deck moving when Galea is offline.
