The Commander
Exhaust — 
: Put X +1/+1 counters on Sita Varma. Then you may have the base power and toughness of each other creature you control become equal to Sita Varma's power until end of turn. (Activate each exhaust ability only once.)
Guide
Gameplan
Sita Varma wants to go wide with creatures, then fire her one-shot exhaust ability with a big X to balloon her own power and overwrite every other creature's base power and toughness to match for a lethal alpha strike. Early turns you ramp and flood the board with tokens or cheap bodies, protect Sita, then on a single explosive turn you turn your whole army into copies of her enormous power and swing.
Strengths
- Turns a wide board of small tokens into a massive lethal swing for one big mana payment
- Cheap two-mana commander that scales into the late game and only needs to connect once
- GU gives access to the best ramp, card draw, and counterspell protection in the format
- Base power/toughness override ignores other anthems and sticks even through removal of those sources
Weaknesses
- The exhaust ability can only be used once per game, so a board wipe in response or afterward is devastating
- All-in alpha strike telegraphs the kill turn and is vulnerable to fog, blockers, and instant-speed removal
- Needs both a wide board and a lot of mana () to be lethal
- No evasion built in, so ground stalls can blank the swing without trample or unblockable enablers
Key Cards
- Craterhoof Behemoth — Stacks trample and a second anthem on top of Sita's override for a guaranteed kill.
- Overwhelming Stampede — Cheaper trample-granting finisher that pairs perfectly with the inflated base power.
- Doubling Season — Doubles the +1/+1 counters from her exhaust ability, making Sita's power explode and your whole team with it.
- Cathars' Crusade — Each token entering pumps the team, and Sita's counters trigger it heavily.
- Heroic Intervention — Protects your assembled board and Sita from wipes and targeted removal on the turn you go off.
- Rhystic Study — Refuels the go-wide plan and keeps you ahead on cards in GU's grindy midgame.
Upgrade Path
Add free protection (Heroic Intervention, Veil of Summer, Tamiyo's Safekeeping) so the exhaust turn can't be punished by a single removal spell or wipe. Lean into counter and token doublers (Doubling Season, Branching Evolution, Hardened Scales) and reliable trample/evasion to convert the override into damage. Tighten the mana with strong ramp (Sol Ring, Cultivate, Three Visits) so you can deploy a board and still pay a large the same turn.

Archetypes
- Tokens — A wide board of small creatures all becoming Sita's huge power is the cleanest payoff for her ability.
- Counters — Her exhaust loads +1/+1 counters, synergizing with proliferate and counter-doubling effects.
- +1/+1 Voltron-Aggro — You can pump Sita herself huge and lean on her power as both a threat and the anthem source.
- Combo — Trample finishers plus counter doublers let you assemble a one-turn lethal from a modest board.
