Intro

Galea, Kindler of Hope debuted as the front-facing Commander in the Aura of Courage pre-constructed EDH deck from Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. She is a 4/4 Elf Knight with vigilance for one and Bant colors, which is one green mana, one white mana, and one blue mana. Galea lets us look at the top card of our library any time, and we may cast Aura and Equipment spells from the top of our library. When we cast an equipment spell this way, it gains "when this Equipment enters the battlefield, we attach it to target creature we control." Galea's top-of-the-library ability creates an extension of our hand, and with the majority of the current 99 of this build inundated with Aura and Equipment spells, we should easily be able to maximize the number of spells we can cast each and every turn. Our game plan here is simple: We plan to cast a plethora of Aura and Equipment spells, respectively enchant and equip them to Galea and/or our other carefully selected creatures, send them into combat, and win the game via Commander damage and/or combat damage.
