Overview:

A tribal Orc/Army deck led by Mauhúr, Uruk-hai Captain that focuses on amassing armies and enhancing them with +1/+1 counters, supported by equipment and powerful artifacts from Middle-earth lore.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around utilizing the amass mechanic to build a powerful army token, enhanced by Mauhúr, Uruk-hai Captain's ability to add extra +1/+1 counters. The deck includes multiple ways to amass through cards like March from the Black Gate, Foray of Orcs, and Book of Mazarbul, while also incorporating powerful equipment pieces to enhance creatures and provide additional utility.

The secondary strategy involves using powerful artifacts like The One Ring and Palantír of Orthanc for card advantage, while cards like Shagrat, Loot Bearer and The Ozolith help maintain counter-based momentum. The deck can win through combat damage with its enhanced army token or through accumulating value with its various legendary artifacts and equipment.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and exile effects that can remove the army token, forcing a rebuild from scratch. Heavy artifact removal can disrupt the equipment-based support strategy. The deck can sometimes struggle with consistency in the early game if it doesn't find its amass enablers quickly enough.

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

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with some powerful individual cards but a relatively fair strategy that typically wins through combat damage. While it includes some high-powered cards like The One Ring and Ancient Tomb, its reliance on building up a single army token and combat-based wins places it firmly in the casual-focused category. It's stronger than a typical precon due to its mana base and powerful artifacts, but not quite reaching the higher power levels due to its somewhat linear strategy and vulnerability to removal.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
