Primeval Breaker
Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant is a straightforward threat that demands an answer. Casting Ghalta for {5}{G}{G}{G} puts a 12/12 with trample onto the battlefield and its enter the battlefield ability can flood the board if your hand is stocked with creatures. The card rewards careful deck building; efficient low cost creatures or effects that reduce casting costs turn Ghalta from a single big beater into an immediate army.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore Ghalta is the apex of primeval strength yet it functions in games as a clean finisher. Play it when you can capitalize on its ability to bypass blockers or when you can transform a hand full of creatures into an overwhelming attack. Experienced pilots use ramp and tutors to make that moment reliable rather than lucky.
