How it grades
Fundamentals 73/100. Plays like Spellslinger.
This reads as Spellslinger, built around Rootha, Mastering the Moment. The spells are the deck: every instant and sorcery triggers payoffs (drain, tokens, copies, treasure), so chaining cheap cantrips is the game plan. Creature count stays low by design; protect the two or three payoff engines and the velocity does the rest. Its strongest fundamental is mana reliability (Your spells reliably arrive on time for this curve); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 20 of 61 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, extra combats support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Spellslinger, Tokens, Extra Combats; from EDHREC).
