Overview:
A Cat tribal deck led by Arahbo, Roar of the World, focusing on combat-based strategies with significant Equipment synergies and commander damage potential through power boosting effects.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish a board presence with efficient Cat creatures while using Arahbo, Roar of the World's eminence ability to boost their power. Equipment plays a crucial supporting role, with cards like Hammer of Nazahn and Bloodforged Battle-Axe providing additional power and utility. The strategy involves building up a single powerful attacker through Equipment and Arahbo's abilities, while maintaining board control with utility cats like Leonin Arbiter and Qasali Slingers. Card advantage is generated through Equipment-based draw effects and combat triggers.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and targeted removal, particularly against equipped creatures. Heavy reliance on combat damage makes it susceptible to fog effects and pillowfort strategies. The deck can struggle with consistency due to limited card draw and tutoring effects.

Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual to focused casual level, with its combat-based strategy typically aiming to win through commander damage or creature beats around turn 10-12. While it includes some powerful Equipment synergies and utility effects, it lacks the explosive acceleration and consistency of higher-powered decks. The interaction suite is modest but functional, including targeted removal and some board wipes. When compared to higher-powered decks (6.0+), it lacks the fast mana and efficient tutors needed to consistently execute its gameplan in early turns.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
