How it grades
Fundamentals 73/100.
No single established archetype dominates. This is its own brew around Firkraag, Cunning Instigator, so the fundamentals below carry the grade. Its strongest fundamental is ramp (16 ramp effects (want 11+ for this curve, your cost reduction counted)); the first thing to tighten is mana curve: 23% of spells cost ≤2, 26% cost 6+.
- AMana reliability
- B+Land count
- C+Mana curve
- A+Ramp
- ACard draw
- B+Interaction
- B-Commander synergy
- AWin conditions
- A-Card quality
- A+Legality & size
Where it falls short
- B+Land count38 lands. About 41 fits this curve, with your cost reduction counted.
- C+Mana curve23% of spells cost ≤2, 26% cost 6+.
- B+Interaction8 removal/protection effects (want 10+).
- B-Commander synergyOnly 26 of 61 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want Dragon, +1/+1 counter, card-draw support.
Strong on mana reliability, ramp, card draw, win conditions, card quality and legality & size.
83 cards graded: A- 5, B+ 20, B 48, B- 8, C+ 2. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
