Overview:
A life-drain focused deck centered around Queza, Augur of Agonies, utilizing heavy card draw to slowly drain opponents while maintaining control of the board. The strategy combines card advantage engines with life drain payoffs and protective elements.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish card draw engines while protecting Queza, Augur of Agonies to continuously drain opponents. Early game focuses on setting up mana and draw engines like Rhystic Study and Teferi's Ageless Insight. Mid-game transitions to heavy card draw with protection from cards like Grand Abolisher and counterspells. Alternative win conditions include Laboratory Maniac and Triskaidekaphile. The deck can also pivot to a control strategy using cards like Cyclonic Rift and Force of Will while building up resources.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its commander and can struggle if Queza, Augur of Agonies is repeatedly removed. The mana base could be more optimized, potentially leading to color-fixing issues. The deck can be vulnerable to aggressive strategies and graveyard hate, particularly when attempting to execute its card draw-based strategies.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 8/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the focused/optimized casual range due to its consistent strategy execution and strong interaction suite. While it packs powerful cards like Force of Will and Fierce Guardianship, its win condition requires multiple turns of setup and sustained card draw. It's stronger than typical casual decks due to its tutors and interaction, but lacks the explosive speed and efficiency of higher-powered decks. The control elements and card advantage engines make it resilient, but the relatively slow win condition keeps it from reaching higher power levels.
Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
