How it grades
Fundamentals 84/100. Plays like Tokens.
This reads as Tokens, built around Inquisitor Greyfax. Go wide: flood the board with cheap bodies, multiply them, then convert width into damage or value with anthems, drain triggers, and sacrifice payoffs. Board wipes are the great enemy, so rebuild speed and token-doublers that refill fast matter more than any single big creature. Its strongest fundamental is interaction (19 removal/protection effects (want 10+ for Tokens). Most of that is one kind of effect, so it counts for less); the first thing to tighten is land count: 37 lands. About 41 fits this curve for Tokens.
