Galea, Kindler of Hope pursued a Voltron enchantment and equipment strategy, using aura spells to progressively enhance her commander and threaten a quick, powerful finisher. Early turns featured a lot of mana ramp, card filtering, and setup plays, including Birds of Paradise, Expedition Map, and Sensei's Divining Top to smooth draws.
Notable early plays included Stitcher's Supplier to mill cards for graveyard synergies and Chthonian Nightmare for energy manipulation and reanimation potential.
