How it grades
Fundamentals 94/100.
No single established archetype dominates. This is its own brew around Kamiz, Obscura Oculus, so the fundamentals below carry the grade. Its strongest fundamental is land count (38 lands. About 39 fits this curve); the first thing to tighten is card quality: Median EDHREC rank #3,325.
