How it grades
Fundamentals 76/100. Plays like Reanimator / graveyard.
This reads as Reanimator / graveyard, built around Sefris of the Hidden Ways. 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. Sefris of the Hidden Ways sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (39 lands. About 41 fits this curve for Reanimator / graveyard); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 25 of 60 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want graveyard, dungeon venturing support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Reanimator, Dungeon, Discard; from EDHREC).

92 cards graded: A 1, A- 8, B+ 31, B 44, B- 4, C+ 4. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
