Overview:

This is a Jund sacrifice/theft deck that aims to steal opponents' creatures, sacrifice them for value through Ziatora, the Incinerator, and generate additional value through treasure tokens and damage-based effects.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around temporarily stealing opponents' creatures through various "Act of Treason" effects, then sacrificing them for value through the commander or other sacrifice outlets like Goblin Bombardment. The deck generates additional value through treasure tokens and damage amplifiers like Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder and Warstorm Surge.

The deck operates by ramping in the early game with cards like Cultivate and mana rocks, then transitioning into its theft-and-sacrifice strategy around turns 5-7. The presence of Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and Black Market provides card advantage and additional mana generation, while cards like Bootleggers' Stash and Professional Face-Breaker ensure a steady stream of resources through treasure generation.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on having both theft effects and sacrifice outlets simultaneously, making it vulnerable to disruption. Graveyard hate significantly impacts its ability to recur valuable creatures, and the deck struggles against hexproof/shroud creatures it can't target with theft effects. The mana base is relatively basic, which can lead to color-fixing issues in crucial early turns.

Most Important Cards:

• Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
• Black Market
• Warstorm Surge
• Bootleggers' Stash
• Goblin Bombardment
• Professional Face-Breaker
• Mayhem Devil
• Xenagos, God of Revels
• Mr. Orfeo, the Boulder
• Stalking Vengeance

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, typically becoming fully operational around turns 7-8. While it includes powerful value engines, the reliance on temporary theft effects and sacrifice outlets makes it less consistent than more streamlined strategies. The deck's interaction suite is decent but not comprehensive, and it lacks the explosive power or protection needed to compete at higher power levels.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5

The deck sits firmly in the optimized casual range because while it has a clear strategy and some powerful synergies, it lacks the fast mana and consistent early-game threats needed to compete at higher power levels. It's stronger than a typical precon due to its focused strategy and interaction suite, but its reliance on multiple pieces coming together and somewhat clunky mana base keeps it from reaching the more focused power levels of 6.0+.
