How it grades

Fundamentals 90/100. Plays like Villain Tribal and +1/+1 counters.

This reads as Villain Tribal · +1/+1 counters, built around Doctor Doom, King of Latveria. A Villain 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 villain count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is land count (37 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Villain Tribal, with your cost reduction counted); the first thing to tighten is card quality: Median EDHREC rank #8,844.
