How it grades
Fundamentals 97/100. Plays like Aristocrats and Tokens.
This reads as Aristocrats · Tokens, built around Teysa Karlov. Turn creatures dying into a win: sacrifice fodder on demand, drain the table with death triggers, and grind value from every body. The deck barely fears wipes; it profits from them. Watch the fodder-to-payoff ratio: outlets and drains do nothing without a steady stream of bodies. Its strongest fundamental is land count (35 lands. About 37 fits this curve for Aristocrats); the first thing to tighten is interaction: 9 removal/protection effects (want 10+ for Aristocrats).
