How it grades
Fundamentals 80/100. Plays like Human Tribal and +1/+1 counters.
This reads as Human Tribal · +1/+1 counters, built around Leinore, Autumn Sovereign. A Human 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 human count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is ramp (12 ramp effects (want 10+ for this curve for Human Tribal, Herald of War's discount counted)); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 7 draw effects, counting Leinore (want 10+ for Human Tribal).
