How it grades
Fundamentals 74/100. Plays like Lands-matter and Tokens.
This reads as Lands-matter · Tokens, built around Omo, Queen of Vesuva. Lands are the engine, not the tax: extra land drops and landfall triggers turn every land into ramp, bodies, and card advantage at once. The land count runs deliberately high, recursion makes fetches replayable, and the late game wins through land-fueled payoffs the table can't interact with easily. Its strongest fundamental is mana reliability (Nearly all your spells arrive on time, but a few want more sources than the deck makes: Summary Dismissal (27 blue; you have 26)); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 16 of 55 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want enters-the-battlefield support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Lands Matter; from EDHREC).
