How it grades
Fundamentals 89/100. Plays like Dragon Tribal.
This reads as Dragon Tribal, built around Atarka, World Render. A Dragon 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 dragon count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is mana reliability (Nearly all your spells arrive on time, but a few want more sources than the deck makes: Scourge of Valkas (35 red; you have 32.5)); the first thing to tighten is card draw: 8 draw effects (want 10+ for Dragon Tribal).
