How it grades

Fundamentals 83/100. Plays like Assassin Tribal and Voltron.

This reads as Assassin Tribal · Voltron, built around Ezio Auditore da Firenze. An Assassin deck at heart: the creatures share a type on purpose, and lords, payoffs, and type-matters synergies make the whole board bigger than its parts. Tribal decks trade individual card power for critical mass, so keep the assassin count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Ezio Auditore da Firenze 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 mana curve (32% of spells cost ≤2, 3% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is mana reliability: 75% of your spells arrive on time. Aveline de Grandpré is the riskiest: its G cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
