Storm, Queen of Wakanda wants a deck that makes attacking it too costly, so opponents fight each other. It also works in a deck built around Heroes, Mutants or Nobles.

Flying
Whenever Storm attacks, until end of turn, another target attacking creature gains flying and gets +X/+0, where X is Storm's power.
Whenever a creature with flying attacks you, Storm deals damage equal to her power to that creature.
Picked for what they do in Storm's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Storm'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
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 glossaryWGPlayers write colors as letters: W for white, G for green.PillowfortPillowfort decks make attacking you so costly or unappealing that opponents attack each other instead. Cards like Ghostly Prison make a player pay mana for every creature that attacks you, buying time for your own plan.Open the Pillowfort pageRattlesnakeDiscourages attacks rather than preventing them, making an attack expensive or unappealing enough that opponents pick somebody else. Named for a rattlesnake's warning: the point is to be left alone. Propaganda, Sphere of SafetyOpen the Rattlesnake pageEvasionAn ability that makes a creature hard to block, so its attacks reach the player. Flying, menace, landwalk and plain 'can't be blocked' are the common kinds.Open the Evasion pageDamage RemovalRemoves creatures by dealing damage to them rather than by destroying them outright. This includes fight cards, where your creature deals the damage. Damage only kills a creature if it at least equals its toughness, so it can miss the biggest ones, and it does not kill a creature that cannot be destroyed. Lightning Bolt, Rabid Bite, PyroclasmOpen the Damage Removal pageStat ScalingA creature whose power and toughness count something, so it grows as the game goes on. It might count lands you control or cards in your graveyard. Craterhoof Behemoth, Psychosis CrawlerOpen the Stat Scaling pageCombat TrickAn instant you cast during a fight to change how it ends: making a creature bigger or smaller, or keeping your creatures from dying.
