How it grades
Fundamentals 69/100.
No single established archetype dominates. This is its own brew around Davros, Dalek Creator, so the fundamentals below carry the grade. Its strongest fundamental is legality & size (Legal and full-size); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 20 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, artifact support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Artifacts, Tokens, Discard; from EDHREC).
- A+Mana reliability
- BLand count
- AMana curve
- A-Ramp
- A+Card draw
- B+Interaction
- CCommander synergy
- AWin conditions
- BCard quality
- A+Legality & size
Where it falls short
- BLand count37 lands. About 41 fits this curve.
- B+Interaction8 removal/protection effects (want 10+).
- CCommander synergyOnly 20 of 62 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want token, go-wide, artifact support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Artifacts, Tokens, Discard; from EDHREC).
- BCard qualityMedian EDHREC rank #8,249
Strong on mana reliability, mana curve, ramp, card draw, win conditions and legality & size.
99 cards graded: A- 7, B+ 17, B 51, B- 18, C+ 5, C- 1. The command zone is the plan, so it isn't graded.
