Best fit Flexible / archetype-specific How to use it Use Galactus First Steps in Flexible / archetype-specific shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include. Common mistake The common mistake is jamming Galactus First Steps into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect. Token advice Be conservative with tokens. This is more of an archetype purchase than a universal account upgrade. Source: 4 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
