How it grades
Fundamentals 88/100. Plays like +1/+1 counters and Artifacts.
This reads as +1/+1 counters · Artifacts, built around T'Challa, the Black Panther. 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 mana curve (30% of spells cost ≤2, 11% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is card quality: Median EDHREC rank #9,996.
