How it grades
Fundamentals 66/100. Plays like +1/+1 counters and Superfriends.
This reads as +1/+1 counters · Superfriends, built around Breena, the Demagogue. Every creature is a mana sink for growth: counters snowball across the board, doublers turn increments into avalanches, and payoffs convert size into evasion, draw, or the kill. The deck's weakness is exponential dependence: protect the doublers and watch out for clean board resets. Its strongest fundamental is land count (40 lands. About 42 fits this curve for +1/+1 counters); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 11 of 59 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want +1/+1 counter, card-draw support.
