Mageta the Lion

Mageta the Lion is a sweeper on a stick that protects itself—a rare ability that lets you control the board while keeping your commander intact. The core gameplan revolves around building a deck that can generate significant value before you need to clear the board, then using Mageta's repeatable wrath to reset the game in your favor. You'll want card draw and resource engines so discarding two cards doesn't hurt too much, since you'll be activating this ability multiple times throughout the game.

The deck plays as a midrange control shell with a white goodstuff package. You'll run efficient creatures and defensive spells early, then leverage Mageta's ability to answer threats when the board gets congested. Late game, you're grinding opponents out with a mix of targeted removal and board wipes, using Mageta as your anchor. Card advantage from things like cycling lands, cantrips, and engines like Puresteel Paladin or Sram, Senior Edificer help fuel your discards. You win by attrition and commander damage once the board is clear.
