Overview:
A legendary creature-focused deck helmed by Jodah, the Unifier, aiming to create value through cascading legendary spells while building a formidable board presence through anthem effects and powerful legendary creatures.
Primer:
This deck operates on multiple axes, with its primary gameplan revolving around casting legendary creatures to trigger Jodah, the Unifier's cascade-like ability while simultaneously buffing the team through his anthem effect. The deck includes several value engines like Captain Sisay, Prosper, Tome-Bound, and The Great Henge to maintain card advantage and resource generation.
The secondary strategy involves utilizing powerful individual legendary creatures like Dragonlord Dromoka and Etali, Primal Storm to create board pressure while protecting the strategy with cards like Heroic Intervention and Boros Charm. The deck can win through combat damage or by overwhelming opponents with value generation from its numerous legendary creatures and their synergistic abilities.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on having creatures stick on the battlefield, making it vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal. The mana base could be more optimized, potentially leading to color-fixing issues in the early game. The deck also lacks infinite combos or quick win conditions, making it susceptible to faster strategies.

- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range, showing more refinement than a typical precon but lacking the explosive power of higher-tier decks. While it has good interaction and protection pieces, its reliance on combat damage and creature-based strategies places it below focused competitive decks. The deck can consistently execute its gameplan but typically won't threaten wins before turn 8-9, making it too slow for higher power tables but too refined for lower casual pods.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
