How it grades
Fundamentals 89/100. Plays like Tokens and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Tokens · +1/+1 counters, built around Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. 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 land count (40 lands. About 42 fits this curve for Tokens); the first thing to tighten is interaction: 8 removal/protection effects (want 10+ for Tokens).
