Overview:

A mono-black artifact-focused deck led by Imotekh the Stormlord, utilizing Necron tribal synergies and graveyard recursion to generate value through artifact creature tokens and reanimation effects.

Primer:

This deck operates on multiple synergistic axes, primarily focusing on artifact creatures and graveyard interaction. The commander, Imotekh the Stormlord, generates 2/2 Necron Warriors whenever artifacts leave the graveyard, while also providing combat buffs to existing artifact creatures. The deck employs various unearth creatures and recursion effects to repeatedly trigger Imotekh's ability.

The strategy involves setting up a strong board presence through artifact creatures, using sacrifice outlets and mill effects to fill the graveyard, then leveraging various recursion effects to create a steady stream of tokens. The deck can win through combat damage with buffed creatures or through attrition by overwhelming opponents with recurring threats and removal.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate, which can shut down many of its key strategies. Artifact removal can be particularly problematic, as many of the deck's key pieces are artifacts. The deck also relies heavily on its commander for value generation, making it susceptible to commander removal. The mana base could be improved with more artifact ramp to ensure consistent early game development.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 4/10
• Resilience: 6/10
• Consistency: 5/10
• Interaction: 5/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a casual-focused level, with some optimization but lacking the explosive speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it has strong value engines and recursion capabilities, it typically needs several turns to establish its board presence and begin generating significant advantages. The interaction suite is modest but functional, including targeted removal and board wipes. When compared to power level 4.0 decks, it shows more synergy and recursion capabilities, but lacks the consistency and speed of decks in the 6.0 range.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
