Guide
Gameplan
Mageta is a repeatable, asymmetric board wipe on a stick: tap, pay , and discard two cards to destroy everything but Mageta. Build a stax/control shell that keeps your own board light, fuels Mageta's discard with card advantage and graveyard payoffs, then grind opponents out before closing with a protected threat or alternate win.
Strengths
- Repeatable asymmetric wrath that leaves Mageta and your noncreature pieces intact
- Punishes creature-heavy/aristocrat metas and resets aggro every turn
- Discard cost turns into an advantage with reanimation and discard-matters payoffs
- Mono-white gives access to the format's best stax, taxes, and recursion
Weaknesses
- Five mana commander that needs to untap before doing anything, and is easy to remove in response
- Heavy white card disadvantage—discarding two cards per activation is brutal without engines
- Does nothing against artifacts, enchantments, planeswalkers, or noncreature combo
- Slow clock; you can lock the board but struggle to actually close the game
Key Cards
- Land Tax — Refills your hand so you always have two cards to discard to Mageta.
- Smothering Tithe — Generates the heavy white mana needed to wrath every turn.
- Sun Titan — Recurs the permanents and enchantments your loop relies on after each board state.
- Containment Priest — Stops opponents from cheating creatures back faster than you can wipe them.
- Reveillark — Banks value creatures to discard to Mageta and returns them later.
- Faith's Reward — Lets you wipe the board and snap your own permanents back for a one-sided reset.
Upgrade Path
Lean into card-advantage engines (Esper Sentinel, Mangara, Archivist of Oghma) so discarding two cards never strands you, and add flicker/recursion (Sun Titan, Faith's Reward, Teferi's Protection) to make wipes one-sided. Add fast mana and rocks (Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, Smothering Tithe) to wrath repeatedly, then tighten the kill with a compact wincon like Approach of the Second Sun or a Helm of the Host on a value creature.

Archetypes
- Stax / Control — Repeatable wrath plus white taxes and resource denial locks opponents out of the board.
- Hatebears — Cheap disruptive bodies survive your own wipe far better than opponents' developed boards.
- Reanimator — The two-card discard cost fuels recursion targets you bring back for value or as finishers.
