Whenever you attack, untap each creature you control, then tap any number of creatures you control.
Picked for what they do in Plargg's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Plargg'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. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary

Augusta’s last ability triggers whenever you attack with any creatures, even if you didn’t attack with Augusta.
Wizards of the Coast16 Apr 2021
Augusta’s last ability untaps all creatures you control, not just the ones that attacked this turn. Then you choose which creatures to tap, if any.
Wizards of the Coast16 Apr 2021
Despite the term “other tapped creatures,” Augusta’s first ability doesn’t care whether Augusta is tapped or untapped. The same is true for the second ability. Both abilities apply as long as Augusta is on the battlefield.

Plargg, Dean of Chaos’s second ability allows you to cast the spell during that ability’s resolution, ignoring its normal timing restrictions.

Untapping an attacking creature doesn’t remove it from combat. It’s still attacking normally.
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 glossaryWRPlayers write colors as letters: W for white, R for red.Typal/KindredTypal decks are built around one creature type, like Elves, Dragons or Zombies, with cards that make that type stronger. The type is printed after the dash on the card's type line, and the strategy is also called kindred or tribal.Open the Typal/Kindred pageAnthemA card that makes every creature you control bigger for as long as it stays on the battlefield. The whole team gets the bonus at once, instead of one creature getting a boost that wears off. Named after Glorious Anthem.Open the Anthem pageTypal PayoffRewards you for playing lots of one kind of creature. That includes "lords" that make every other Goblin or Merfolk you control bigger, and cards that ask you to choose a creature type and then pay you off for it. A creature type is the word on the middle line of the card, like Goblin, Elf or Zombie.Open the Typal Payoff pageMadness/DiscardDiscard decks throw away their own cards on purpose and play cards that reward each discard. Cards with madness can even be cast for a different, usually cheaper, cost at the moment you discard them.Open the Madness/Discard pageLootingDraws and discards in the same breath. Faithless Looting, Frantic Search. It does not gain you cards. It improves the ones you have, and fills your graveyard on purpose, which is exactly what a reanimator card like Animate Dead wants.Open the Looting pageAttack TriggerTriggers when a creature attacks, so the reward comes from declaring the attack. You get it even if the creature is blocked. Sword of the Animist, Adeline, Resplendent CatharOpen the Attack Trigger pageSelf-DiscardDiscards your own cards as a cost or an effect. Filling your own graveyard on purpose is the point: it feeds cards that bring things back, madness and channel abilities, and some cards are worth more there than in hand. Faithless Looting, Boseiju, Who EnduresOpen the Self-Discard pageTokensToken decks fill the battlefield with small creatures made by their cards, then attack with all of them or make them all bigger at once. A token is a creature (or other object) that a card creates, not a card from your deck.Open the Tokens pageStatic BuffGives creatures a lasting bonus to power and toughness while it remains on the battlefield, rather than a boost that wears off at end of turn. Garruk's Uprising, Patchwork BannerOpen the Static Buff pageUntapperUntaps permanents. Untapping a land or a mana-producing artifact effectively lets you spend that mana twice in a turn, which is why untap effects turn up in so many infinite combos.

Ponder lets you rearrange the top three, Serum Visions lets you scry, and Consider lets you surveil.

More cards means more choices every turn, and in a 100-card deck it is the main way to find the pieces you need. Rhystic Study, SkullclampOpen the Draw page
