How it grades
Fundamentals 67/100. Plays like Wheels.
This reads as Wheels, built around Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder. Refill everyone's hand and make them regret it: wheels churn through the deck while punishers turn each forced draw into damage or value. Asymmetry pieces, draw-hate and discard payoffs, are what separate a wheels deck from charity. Count each wheel as seven cards of velocity. Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder 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 legality & size (Legal and full-size); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 13 of 60 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want cascade, storm support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Cascade, Wheels, Spellslinger; from EDHREC).

Where it falls short
- B+Land count39 lands. About 42 fits this curve for Wheels.
- B+Mana curve22% of spells cost ≤2, 25% cost 6+. Your commanders cheat the top end into play, so heavy is allowed.
- DCommander synergyOnly 13 of 60 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want cascade, storm support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Cascade, Wheels, Spellslinger; from EDHREC).
- B+Card qualityMedian EDHREC rank #4,022
Strong on mana reliability, ramp, card draw, interaction, win conditions and legality & size.
91 cards graded: A- 5, B+ 26, B 47, B- 8, C+ 4, C 1. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
