Grade: B+

B+

How it grades

Fundamentals 88/100. Plays like +1/+1 counters.

This reads as +1/+1 counters, built around Captain America, Team Leader. Every creature is a mana sink for growth: counters snowball across the board, doublers turn increments into avalanches, and payoffs convert size into evasion, draw, or the kill. The deck's weakness is exponential dependence: protect the doublers and watch out for clean board resets. Its strongest fundamental is land count (38 lands. About 37 fits this curve for +1/+1 counters, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is card quality: Median EDHREC rank #10,087.
