How it grades
Fundamentals 83/100. Plays like Dragon Tribal.
This reads as Dragon Tribal, built around Vrondiss, Rage of Ancients. A Dragon deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the dragon count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is land count (39 lands. About 37 fits this curve for Dragon Tribal, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is mana curve: 23% of spells cost ≤2, 23% cost 6+.

- A+Land count

Where it falls short

- B-Mana curve23% of spells cost ≤2, 23% cost 6+.
Strong on land count, ramp, card draw, interaction, commander synergy, win conditions, card quality and legality & size.
