How it grades
Fundamentals 81/100. Plays like Artifacts and Tokens.
This reads as Artifacts · Tokens, built around Breya, Etherium Shaper. 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. Breya, Etherium Shaper sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (34 lands. About 36 fits this curve for Artifacts, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 30 of 65 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, lifegain support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Artifacts, Tokens; from EDHREC).
