Picked for what they do in Godo's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Godo's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three.

Unlike many effects that grant additional combat phases, you don't get an additional main phase with Godo, Bandit Warlord's ability. The additional combat phase happens immediately after the first combat phase.
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryRPlayers write colors as letters: R for red.Extra CombatsExtra Combat decks get to attack more than once in a single turn, so their creatures can hit twice or more. They pair with cards that untap creatures, because a creature that attacked is usually tapped and cannot attack again until it untaps.Open the Extra Combats pageExtra CombatGives you an extra combat, a second chance to attack in the same turn. Most, like Aggravated Assault and Aurelia, the Warleader, also untap your creatures so they can attack again, and cards that make a creature hard to block, like Whispersilk Cloak, make each attack count.Open the Extra Combat pageExtra PhaseAdds an extra phase to your turn: usually another combat, though sometimes an additional main phase to cast more spells. Aggravated Assault, Moraug, Fury of AkoumOpen the Extra Phase pageEquipmentEquipment decks attach artifacts called Equipment to their creatures to make them bigger and harder to stop. You pay a cost to equip each one, and it stays on the battlefield when the creature dies, ready to move to the next.Open the Equipment pageCheat into PlayCheat into Play decks put huge creatures and other expensive cards onto the battlefield without paying their mana costs.
