How it grades
Fundamentals 87/100. Plays like Spirit Tribal.
This reads as Spirit Tribal, built around Millicent, Restless Revenant. A Spirit 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 spirit count high and let the synergy pay the bills. Its strongest fundamental is mana curve (30% of spells cost ≤2, 8% cost 6+); the first thing to tighten is land count: 35 lands. About 39 fits this curve for Spirit Tribal.
