How it grades
Fundamentals 83/100. Plays like +1/+1 counters and Tokens.
This reads as +1/+1 counters · Tokens, built around Jodah, the Unifier. Every creature is a mana sink for growth: counters snowball across the board, doublers turn increments into avalanches, and payoffs convert size into evasion, draw, or the kill. The deck's weakness is exponential dependence: protect the doublers and watch out for clean board resets. Jodah, the Unifier 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 (37 lands. About 37 fits this curve for +1/+1 counters, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 28 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, cascade support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Cascade; from EDHREC).
