How it grades
Fundamentals 98/100. Plays like Artifacts and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Artifacts · +1/+1 counters, built around Inspirit, Flagship Vessel. An artifact engine deck: cost reducers and cheap trinkets snowball into board states and card advantage that scale with the artifact count itself. The pieces are individually weak but the whole is far more than the sum, and a single well-timed Vandalblast is the scariest card in the room. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.
