or, "How Fast Can I Get My Extremely High MV Commander Hit By Swords to Plowshares?

Try to get out Ghalta in OK time with ulity creatures (and crewable Vehicles) that have decent power-to-MV-ratio, then take advantage of Ghalta for more purposes than just commander beatdown. (Turn 5 or earlier is pretty good IMO.)

Omnath, Locus of Mana effectively doubles your green mana for the purpose of casting Ghalta. (You first declare the (reduced) cost of a spell, then you actually pay for casting it. This is also relevant if you want to sac Warping Wail's 1 power token for mana.) Do note that use-restriction mana from e.g. Cavern of Souls don't lose their restriction from turn to turn while preserved by Omnath, so make sure to keep track of that.

Attacking with Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma makes her contribute a whole to Ghalta's casting.

Keep in mind that you don't need to cast your g(h)al for just every time. (Get good at subtracting from 12.)

For Green Sun's Zenith candidates, click here and select "Creatures" on the deck's pie (Dryad Arbor is also present and accessible at X=0). Note that Zenith can't get Tormod's Cryptkeeper.

Cavern of Souls is primarily for Ghalta, but the deck has some other Dinosaurs too. (Among those, Apex Altisaur is probably the most likely to get countered.)

The deck's average MV is a bit deceptive, as it got Ghalta, The Great Henge, and Not of this World, none of which you are likely to ever hardcast, plus four MDFC lands.

As creatures seem to be consistently power crept year after year, I expect this deck to steadily improve.
