How it grades
Fundamentals 99/100. Plays like Tokens and Aristocrats.
This reads as Tokens · Aristocrats, built around Chatterfang, Squirrel General. 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. Chatterfang, Squirrel General sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.
