Mageta the Lion deck questions

What colours can I use in a Mageta the Lion deck?

Mageta the Lion has a mono-white colour identity, so every card in the deck must be white or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for Mageta the Lion?

The cards played most often in Mageta the Lion decks include Return to the Light Realms, Gleaming Splendor, Worzel, the Protector. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a Mageta the Lion deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $106 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.

Can I build a Mageta the Lion deck from cards I already own?

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
