ANALYSIS

Overview:

A Saheeli, the Gifted artifact-focused deck that aims to generate value through token creation and cost reduction, ultimately winning through either combat damage with large artifact creatures or overwhelming board presence through token copies.

Primer:

The deck's primary gameplan revolves around using Saheeli, the Gifted's abilities to generate value and reduce costs of big artifacts. Early game focuses on establishing artifact presence through tokens and mana rocks. Mid-game leverages cost reduction to deploy large threats ahead of curve. The deck can create explosive turns by copying artifacts with Saheeli's ultimate or cards like Mirrorworks and Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer. Card advantage engines like Thopter Spy Network help maintain resources while building toward victory through either combat damage or overwhelming board presence.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to artifact hate and board wipes, which can severely set back its gameplan. It relies heavily on having artifacts in play to maximize Saheeli's abilities, making it susceptible to targeted removal. The deck can struggle against faster, more aggressive strategies due to its relatively slow setup time.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Saheeli, the Gifted
  • Sol Ring
  • Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer
  • Mirrorworks
  • Thopter Spy Network
  • Unwinding Clock
  • Myr Battlesphere
  • Soul of New Phyrexia
  • Echo Storm
  • Blasphemous Act

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a casual-focused power level, with some optimization but lacking the explosive speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it can generate significant value and create impressive board states, it typically requires several turns of setup before executing its strategy. The deck includes some interaction but focuses more on its own gameplan than disrupting others. It would struggle against more competitive decks but can hold its own in casual pods.

Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
