“Colorless 12/12 flying exile machine that demands ramp and pays off immediately.”
Galactus is a colorless big-beat threat that exiles a permanent when it enters, then forces you into an interesting tension: it automatically attacks the player with the most life unless you control Silver Surfer, Galactus's Herald. This means you're either ramping hard to cast Galactus early (turning it into a 12/12 indestructible flyer that immediately removes a key threat), or you're building around finding/protecting a Silver Surfer to unlock full control of your attacks. The deck wins through raw combat damage—Galactus's flying and trample make it a legitimate threat on its own, but you'll want to lean into colorless ramp, protective artifacts (like equipment and Vibranium tokens), and recursion to abuse the ETB exile repeatedly.
Build this as a big-mana colorless stompy deck that uses the turn you cast Galactus as a huge value swing. Pair it with card draw effects, mana rocks, and tutors to find Silver Surfer when you need control over the combat math. Equipment like Panther Habit, Unstable Molecule Suit, and Vibranium Strike Gauntlets make Galactus harder to block or kill. Since Galactus has no color identity, you can splash into any color for support—green for ramp, blue for draw, or black for recursion and control. The real power is turning one 10-mana spell into a game-ending play that also disrupts opponents' strategies.

Skip expensive tutors like Mystical Tutor; use basic ramp like Sol Ring, Cultivate, and Kodama's Reach. Replace pricey protection like Kart with budget equipment like Bone Sword or even Darksteel Plate variants.
