Building a deck around Ghalta, Primal Hunger.

I'm currently thinking about building this deck so that every single creature in it is undercosted. To elaborate:

1. In the first draft of the deck, either every single creature will have printed power higher than its mana value, or it is reasonably likely to get that way once cost reduction and ETB abilities are taken into account.

2. I hope to make this better than a precon, let's say 4-6 power ranking, but don't aspire to cEDH. If I get a full deck list and mock it up and find that it's far below that what's played at my LGS, then I'm prepared to relax the theme.

3. It's hard to search databases for this design constraint, so I'm starting with what's in my personal collection. Just by skimming through my green and artifact cards I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make a first draft without shopping. After that, we'll see.

12/7: The first draft is complete. Next step: move cards the cards I own in the "maybeboard" to the main deck, probably cutting some of the weaker vanilla or French vanilla creatures to make room. I've also started considering some creatures that aren't "undercosted." Secondary themes in the deck: self-mill and +1/+1 counters.
