How it grades
Fundamentals 98/100. Plays like Artifacts.
This reads as Artifacts, built around Saheeli, Radiant Creator. An artifact engine deck: cost reducers and cheap trinkets snowball into board states and card advantage that scale with the artifact count itself. The pieces are individually weak but the whole is far more than the sum, and a single well-timed Vandalblast is the scariest card in the room. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.
- A+Mana reliability
- A+Land count
- A+Mana curve
- A+Ramp
- A+Card draw
- A+Interaction
- A+Commander synergy
- A+Win conditions
- A-Card quality
- A+Legality & size
Nothing falls short. Strong on mana reliability, land count, mana curve, ramp, card draw, interaction, commander synergy, win conditions, card quality and legality & size.
86 cards graded: A- 11, B+ 36, B 37, B- 2. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
