How it grades
Fundamentals 71/100. Plays like Lands-matter and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Lands-matter · +1/+1 counters, built around Lord Windgrace. Lands are the engine, not the tax: extra land drops and landfall triggers turn every land into ramp, bodies, and card advantage at once. The land count runs deliberately high, recursion makes fetches replayable, and the late game wins through land-fueled payoffs the table can't interact with easily. Its strongest fundamental is legality & size (Legal and full-size); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 24 of 56 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, discard support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Lands Matter; from EDHREC).

Where it falls short
- B+Mana reliability85% of your spells arrive on time. Stitch Together is the riskiest: its B cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
- B+Land count43 lands. About 46 fits this curve for Lands-matter.
- B-Mana curve21% of spells cost ≤2, 20% cost 6+.
- B+Card draw9 draw effects, counting Lord Windgrace (want 10+ for Lands-matter).
- B-Commander synergyOnly 24 of 56 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, discard support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Lands Matter; from EDHREC).
- B+Card qualityMedian EDHREC rank #5,556
