How it grades
Fundamentals 71/100. Plays like Spellslinger.
This reads as Spellslinger, built around Zaffai, Thunder Conductor. The spells are the deck: every instant and sorcery triggers payoffs (drain, tokens, copies, treasure), so chaining cheap cantrips is the game plan. Creature count stays low by design; protect the two or three payoff engines and the velocity does the rest. Its strongest fundamental is ramp (18 ramp effects (want 13+ for this curve for Spellslinger)); the first thing to tighten is land count: 37 lands. About 43 fits this curve for Spellslinger.
