How it grades
Fundamentals 71/100. Plays like Superfriends.
This reads as Superfriends, built around Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser. The planeswalkers are the deck: each one is a threat, a removal spell and a draw engine that has to survive a turn cycle to pay off. That means the shell is defensive: fog effects, taxing enchantments and board wipes buy the loyalty time to accumulate. Every walker you resolve should either protect itself or immediately affect the board. Its strongest fundamental is interaction (15 removal/protection effects (want 12+ for Superfriends)); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 23 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want card-draw, goad support.

Where it falls short
- B+Mana reliability85% of your spells arrive on time. Mob Verdict is the riskiest: its R cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
- BLand count37 lands. About 41 fits this curve for Superfriends.
- C+Commander synergyOnly 23 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want card-draw, goad support.
Strong on mana curve, ramp, card draw, interaction, win conditions, card quality and legality & size.
