Overview:
This is a sacrifice-based value engine deck centered around Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist's exploit ability, combining card draw, token generation, and recursion to create a sustainable value engine that can gradually overwhelm opponents.
Primer:
The deck operates by leveraging its commander's exploit ability alongside token generators and value creatures to create a steady stream of card advantage and resources. Key pieces like Pitiless Plunderer, Morbid Opportunist, and Ophiomancer create a constant supply of sacrifice fodder while generating additional value. The deck includes several ways to protect its pieces through counterspells and recursion effects.
The primary gameplan involves establishing a board state with reliable token generation, then using exploit triggers to draw cards and generate treasures. Secondary win conditions include combat damage through tokens and larger creatures like Junji, the Midnight Sky or Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest. The deck can grind out long games through its value engines but typically won't present a fast win condition.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its commander for its primary value engine and can struggle if Henry Wu is repeatedly removed. While it has some interaction, it's primarily focused on creature-based strategies and can struggle against combo decks or heavy enchantment/artifact strategies. The deck also has limited ways to deal with flying creatures and can be vulnerable to faster aggro strategies.
Most Important Cards:
- Pitiless Plunderer
- Morbid Opportunist
- Ophiomancer
- Meren of Clan Nel Toth
- Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest
- Toxic Deluge
- Pernicious Deed
- Eternal Witness
- Mana Drain
- Birds of Paradise
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck falls into the 6.0 range because it consistently executes its strategy with meaningful interaction but typically won't threaten wins before turn 7-8. While it has strong value engines, it lacks the explosive potential of higher-powered decks. It's more resilient than a 5.5 deck due to its recursion and interaction suite, but doesn't have the fast mana or quick wins of a 6.5+ deck.
Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.2
The deck shows focused construction with good interaction and value generation, but its reliance on creature-based strategies and lack of fast mana or quick win conditions keeps it from reaching higher power levels. It's well-positioned for longer games in a focused meta but will struggle against more competitive strategies.
Henry Wu, InGen Geneticist
