Strategy
Ghalta the Immovable is a defensive creature that flips the script: instead of dealing damage with power, it enables your high-toughness creatures to attack and deal damage equal to their toughness. The core gameplan is to build a board of creatures with high toughness (like walls, plants, and other defensive creatures), then use Ghalta to turn them into offensive threats. Once Ghalta hits the field, your toughness-matters creatures become a serious clock, and Ghalta's cost reduction means you're cheating its 9-mana cost down significantly if you've assembled even a modest defense.
Your win condition is swinging in with an army of creatures pumping damage through their toughness instead of power. This plays into a midrange strategy where you're stalling early, building a fortress, then pivoting to aggression once Ghalta and your toughness-matters synergies are online. Cards that create tokens with high toughness, cards that give creatures +0/+X, and effects that protect your board are all-stars here.
