How it grades
Fundamentals 44/100. Plays like Aristocrats and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Aristocrats · +1/+1 counters, built around Korvold, Fae-Cursed King. 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. Korvold, Fae-Cursed King 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 (29% of spells cost ≤2, 12% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is legality & size: the deck is 60 of 100 cards.

Where it falls short
- C-Mana reliability48% of your spells arrive on time. Thrashing Brontodon is the riskiest: its G cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
- FLand count25 lands. About 42 fits this curve for Aristocrats.
- C+Ramp7 ramp effects (want 11+ for this curve for Aristocrats).
- B+Card draw8 draw effects, counting Korvold (want 9+ for Aristocrats).
- C-Commander synergyOnly 9 of 34 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want +1/+1 counter, card-draw, enters-the-battlefield support.
- B+Card qualityMedian EDHREC rank #3,708
- FLegality & sizethe deck is 60 of 100 cards.
Strong on mana curve, interaction and win conditions.
55 cards graded: A- 3, B+ 13, B 33, B- 5, C 1. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
