A deck that focuses on ramping up its mana quickly and flooding the board with high-power creatures would benefit from including Ghalta, Primal Hunger, as it can be cast for a significantly reduced cost. Green ramp decks or tribal dinosaur decks could make good use of Ghalta's ability to become a massive threat early in the game. While there may be other powerful cards in Magic: The Gathering that serve similar roles, Ghalta's unique cost reduction mechanic and trample ability make it a strong contender for inclusion in decks that can reliably generate high power on the board.

To determine Ghalta’s total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card’s effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. Ghalta’s converted mana cost remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
