Overview:

A tribal Mouse/Equipment deck led by Mabel, Heir to Cragflame that focuses on combining tribal synergies with equipment-based combat strategies, utilizing both Mouse creatures and various equipment pieces to create powerful attacking threats.

Primer:

The deck operates on two primary axes: tribal Mouse synergies and equipment-based combat. The commander, Mabel, Heir to Cragflame, provides both aspects by buffing Mice and creating an equipment token. The early game focuses on establishing a board presence with efficient Mouse creatures while setting up equipment support through cards like Puresteel Paladin and Sram, Senior Edificer.

The mid-to-late game plan involves leveraging equipment synergies with powerful pieces like the Sword cycle and tribal buffs to create formidable attackers. Key support pieces like Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist help circumvent equip costs, while cards like Mirror Entity can pump the team for decisive attacks. The deck can generate card advantage through equipment-based card draw and maintains reasonable interaction through removal spells and combat tricks.

Weaknesses:

• Heavily reliant on creatures staying on the board, making it vulnerable to board wipes and targeted removal
• Limited protection against non-combat strategies like combo or control
• Relatively slow setup time needed to establish both creatures and equipment
• Weak to artifact removal, which can severely impact the equipment strategy

Most Important Cards:

1. Puresteel Paladin
2. Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist
3. Sword of Feast and Famine
4. Hammer of Nazahn
5. Mirror Entity
6. Sram, Senior Edificer
7. Sol Ring
8. Blasphemous Act
9. Sword of Truth and Justice
10. Fighter Class

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck falls into the focused casual range due to its clear strategy and reasonable support pieces, but lacks the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it can create threatening board states, it typically won't win before turn 8-9 and requires multiple turns to set up its equipment-based strategy. The inclusion of quality interaction and recovery options places it above precon level, but the relatively fair nature of its strategy keeps it from reaching higher power levels.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5

The deck represents a well-constructed casual strategy that can create powerful board states but operates at a fair pace and allows for interaction. It's stronger than a typical precon due to its focused gameplan and quality equipment package, but isn't optimized enough to compete with higher-powered strategies.
