How it grades
Fundamentals 77/100. Plays like Spellslinger and Wheels.
This reads as Spellslinger · Wheels, built around Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph. The spells are the deck: every instant and sorcery triggers payoffs (drain, tokens, copies, treasure), so chaining cheap cantrips is the game plan. Creature count stays low by design; protect the two or three payoff engines and the velocity does the rest. Its strongest fundamental is land count (34 lands. About 35 fits this curve for Spellslinger); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 23 of 65 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want burn, storm support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Burn, Spellslinger, Storm; from EDHREC).
