Storm, Windrider wants a deck that makes attacking it too costly, so opponents fight each other. It also suits a deck that plays cheap creatures and attacks from the first turns.

Flying
Creatures with flying can't attack you or block creatures you control.
Whenever you cast a spell that targets one or more creatures, those creatures gain flying until end of turn.
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.

Boros Charm, Flawless ManeuverOpen the Combat Trick 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.
