How it grades
Fundamentals 99/100. Plays like Aristocrats and Tokens.
This reads as Aristocrats · Tokens, built around Dina, Essence Brewer. Turn creatures dying into a win: sacrifice fodder on demand, drain the table with death triggers, and grind value from every body. The deck barely fears wipes; it profits from them. Watch the fodder-to-payoff ratio: outlets and drains do nothing without a steady stream of bodies. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.
