How it grades
Fundamentals 76/100. Plays like Sliver Tribal.
This reads as Sliver Tribal, built around Sliver Gravemother. A Sliver deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the sliver count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is land count (37 lands. About 38 fits this curve for Sliver Tribal, with Herald's Horn's discount counted); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 5 draw effects (want 10+ for Sliver Tribal).
