πŸ“– How to build Ghalta and Mavren

Ghalta and Mavren is a seven-mana trampling Dinosaur Vampire whose value comes from its attack trigger. Whenever you attack, you choose one mode: create a tapped, attacking green Dinosaur token with trample sized to your greatest-power other attacker, or create X 1/1 white Vampire tokens with lifelink, where X is the number of your other attacking creatures. The plan is to go wide and swing with many creatures each combat.

Build a creature-heavy deck with strong attackers and quick access to seven mana. Ramp such as Cultivate, Farseek, Rampant Growth, and Kodama's Reach, plus Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves, can get it onto the battlefield sooner. Heroic Intervention, Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, and Beast Within can protect the commander and remove threats.

Its biggest weakness is the seven-mana cost, and it does nothing until you attack with other creatures. Both modes count other attackers, so a board with only one or two attackers yields little value. The Dinosaur token is only as large as your biggest other attacker, so keep high-power creatures on the battlefield.
