ANALYSIS

Overview:

A Prossh, Skyraider of Kher aristocrats deck that leverages token generation and sacrifice synergies to create powerful value engines and potential combo finishes with Food Chain.

Primer:

This deck operates on multiple axes, with its primary gameplan revolving around generating value through sacrifice effects and token creation. Prossh, Skyraider of Kher provides both fodder and a sacrifice outlet, enabling various aristocrats strategies. The deck can win through traditional damage via commander damage, death triggers from cards like Blood Artist and Zulaport Cutthroat, or through the infinite combo with Food Chain.

The secondary strategy involves creating a critical mass of tokens through cards like Parallel Lives and Chatterfang, Squirrel General, then leveraging these tokens for either value or damage through various payoffs. The deck includes significant ramp packages to ensure consistent deployment of its commander and key pieces, while maintaining interaction through targeted removal and protection spells.

Weaknesses:

The deck shows vulnerability to graveyard hate, which can shut down several recursion-based value engines. The mana base could be improved, as it currently runs slightly below the optimal land count for a deck of this complexity. The deck is also somewhat commander-dependent, as many of its strongest lines involve Prossh being on the battlefield, making it susceptible to repeated removal.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Food Chain
  • Phyrexian Altar
  • Ashnod's Altar
  • Blood Artist
  • Parallel Lives
  • Purphoros, God of the Forge
  • Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
  • Chatterfang, Squirrel General
  • Dictate of Erebos
  • Skullclamp

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 6/10
  • Resilience: 7/10
  • Consistency: 6/10
  • Interaction: 5/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits in the focused-to-optimized range due to its ability to present multiple win conditions and maintain consistent pressure through its aristocrats strategy. While it includes the powerful Food Chain combo, it doesn't have the tutoring density or protection suite to consistently execute this early enough for higher power levels. The deck can threaten wins around turns 7-8 when uninterrupted, but can also grind out longer games through its value engines. It would struggle against highly tuned decks (7.0+) due to their faster speed and higher interaction density, but would consistently overpower most casual builds.

Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5
