How it grades
Fundamentals 67/100. Plays like Lands-matter and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Lands-matter · +1/+1 counters, built around Zimone, Mystery Unraveler. Lands are the engine, not the tax: extra land drops and landfall triggers turn every land into ramp, bodies, and card advantage at once. The land count runs deliberately high, recursion makes fetches replayable, and the late game wins through land-fueled payoffs the table can't interact with easily. Its strongest fundamental is ramp (20 ramp effects (want 10+ for this curve for Lands-matter)); the first thing to tighten is land count: 38 lands. About 46 fits this curve for Lands-matter.
