How it grades
Fundamentals 99/100. Plays like Spellslinger.
This reads as Spellslinger, built around Shiko and Narset, Unified. 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. The fundamentals check out across the board. From here it's meta calls and personal tech.

- A+Land count

- A+Win conditions
- A+Card quality
- A+Legality & size
Nothing falls short. Strong on mana reliability, land count, mana curve, ramp, card draw, interaction, commander synergy, win conditions, card quality and legality & size.
91 cards graded: A 2, A- 11, B+ 38, B 40. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
