Overview:
A synergistic value engine deck built around Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar that leverages Food tokens, artifact synergies, and discard effects to generate card advantage and control the board while gradually depleting opponents' life totals.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple synergistic axes, primarily centered around Food token generation and artifact sacrifice. The commander tutors for The Underworld Cookbook, establishing a reliable discard outlet that creates Food tokens. These tokens become a versatile resource, either providing life gain, enabling sacrifice synergies with cards like Mayhem Devil and Oni-Cult Anvil, or serving as removal through the commander's ability.
The secondary strategy involves leveraging discard synergies through cards like Bone Miser, Containment Construct, and Anje Falkenrath to generate card advantage while filling the graveyard with valuable targets for recursion. The deck can grind out victories through incremental damage from sacrifice triggers, commander damage, or overwhelming board presence through token generation and recursion loops.
Weaknesses:
- Heavily relies on artifacts, making it vulnerable to mass artifact removal
- Can struggle against graveyard hate, which disrupts many of its recursion lines
- Limited interaction with enchantments
- Somewhat commander-dependent for its primary game plan
Most Important Cards:
- The Underworld Cookbook
- Academy Manufactor
- Mayhem Devil
- Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
- Bone Miser
- Oni-Cult Anvil
- Containment Construct
- Trading Post
- Witch's Oven
- Black Market Connections
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the focused/optimized casual range due to its ability to generate consistent value while maintaining interaction through sacrifice outlets and removal. While it can establish strong board positions, it typically doesn't threaten wins before turn 8-9. The deck's resilience through recursion and multiple value engines places it above typical casual decks, but its speed and inability to consistently threaten early wins keeps it from reaching higher power levels.
Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
The deck demonstrates strong synergies and can generate significant value, but operates at a pace more suited to casual-optimized tables rather than high-powered environments. Its ability to grind out games through multiple value engines while maintaining interaction places it in this power range, though it lacks the explosive potential or fast mana base of higher-powered decks.
