How it grades
Fundamentals 86/100. Plays like Reanimator / graveyard and Artifacts.
This reads as Reanimator / graveyard · Artifacts, built around Szarekh, the Silent King. The graveyard is a second hand: stock it fast, then cheat the biggest things in it onto the battlefield for a fraction of their cost. Self-mill and discard are card selection, not card loss. Graveyard hate is the deck's nightmare, so diversify threats and keep a fair backup plan. Its strongest fundamental is commander synergy (38 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Artifacts, Reanimator; from EDHREC)); the first thing to tighten is land count: 37 lands. About 41 fits this curve for Reanimator / graveyard.
