Character Background
The Coming of Galactus reads like a control-to-midrange finisher that buys incremental advantage and then closes the game: Chapter I is a targeted removal on arrival to answer a problematic permanent, II–III are small but repeatable life loss that grinds opponents down, and IV drops a literal world-ending 16/16 flying, trample Elder Alien that destroys a land each attack. It best supports a value/control plan that stabilizes early and protects the saga until the inevitable gargantuan token resolves. Deckbuilding tips: include proliferate engines or counter-manipulation to accelerate lore counters if you want a faster payoff, and pack haste/protection for Galactus (e.g., artifact-based haste or shroud-granting effects) so he can attack immediately and start dismantling resources. Also lean on removal and sweepers to survive to IV and consider pairing with land-denial synergies (Wasteland-style effects or repeated LD) to exploit the token’s attack trigger. Confidently a finishers-for-value card, not an aggro piece.
