How it grades
Fundamentals 85/100. Plays like Knight Tribal and Tokens.
This reads as Knight Tribal · Tokens, built around Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir. A Knight 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 knight count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is land count (37 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Knight Tribal, with Herald's Horn's discount counted); the first thing to tighten is ramp: 7 ramp effects (want 10+ for this curve for Knight Tribal).
