Its a shame he doesnt have some sort of protection. Indestructible seems like it would have been a perfect fit. Would have made monoG Voltron a thing. Although I guess there wouldn't really need to be a whole lot of voltroning since he's already a two hit kill.
I like the design of Ghalta. It's also rather sweet how any utility you play is "ramp" for this lizard. Things like Groundbreaker turn into pseudo-rituals.
Also, big dino smash. For when you really only want to hit things hard

I quite like what they did with Licia and now Ghalta to toy around with commander tax a bit. This guy's also a perfect card for Timmy's First EDH Deck. Great way to get newbies into the game.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Ghalta is definitely just a big, stupid timmy beater. You'd have to be some kind of maniac to think you might be drawing12cards, makingbigmana, or generatingpower. Nothing to see here.

Now it can do all of those things..but that doesn't mean it can't just beat faces in..this could make me want to do a Mono Green EDH deck.

My brother Runs Molimo. While Ghalta is a 12/12 Molimo is seldom ever less than 12. (so much addition land fetching. And he runs only forests)

Molimo doesn't hax the Commander Tax though.
that is true. But of you are hard casting him for 15. That is a 15/15 witb trample.
so you are casting it for 4 (2x4=8, meaning you still have to pay 2GG)
Casting it for GG, 4 2/Xs and a Sol Ring. The important detail is that the 2/Xs in the example are creatures you probably happen to be running by default ANYWAY in mono-G beats, as they're just extremely solid green utility dudes. Pretty sure tstorm was pointing out that all of your utility guys are suddenly ramp to your 2HKO commander.
while Basic lands are not new or unreleased cards. The unstable ones are by far the most beautiful lands i have seen. If they really have no border, even better. I don;t have many decks that run basics but i am gonna try picking up as many as I can as they are just so nice. (Plus I would love to do some drafting with my friends, and I have no quarrels picking up 9 packa fo unstable, i get a few gofoy cards, stuff i can possibly use in EDH and i get those pretty lands, Maybe even buy a box.
Many of the Unstable cards previewed today would've been tournament legal if not for the silver borders. The brackets aren't too different from Energy/Poison/Experience counters on players. I think they'd be perfect for EDH without being too odd, should the group permits it.
Would be more one sided if using Boros Reckoner and Stuffy Doll

Yes, Stuffy will be in the deck too. Reckoner(and his mount the Spitemare) however are not monored.
Reckoner and Spitemare cannot be in a Nehab deck.

Probably excels in Xenagod/Stonebrow decks (especially with extra combat steps)...hell, anything that wants to win by combat likes it.

With the usual green lot on the field, he'd be GG (pun unintended) to recast every time he dies. Against board wipe though, needs Heroic Intervention.

It's not just casting for 2. You have to use your Sol Ring, and your Sol Ring, and your Sol Ring, and your Sol Ring, and your Sol Ring.
