How it grades
Fundamentals 95/100. Plays like Tokens and Aristocrats.
This reads as Tokens · Aristocrats, built around Caesar, Legion's Emperor. Go wide: flood the board with cheap bodies, multiply them, then convert width into damage or value with anthems, drain triggers, and sacrifice payoffs. Board wipes are the great enemy, so rebuild speed and token-doublers that refill fast matter more than any single big creature. Its strongest fundamental is mana curve (37% of spells cost ≤2, 6% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is land count: 36 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Tokens.
