Overview:

This is an Azorius (White-Blue) blink deck centered around Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward and Candlekeep Sage, creating value through repeated enter-the-battlefield (ETB) triggers while drawing cards and establishing board presence through token generation.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around repeatedly blinking creatures with valuable ETB effects using various flicker effects. The commander combination allows for card draw whenever Abdel Adrian enters or leaves the battlefield, while also generating an army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. The deck can generate significant card advantage through this engine while maintaining board presence.

The deck operates by establishing early mana acceleration through artifacts like Sol Ring and Arcane Signet, then deploying value creatures that can be repeatedly blinked for advantage. Key pieces like Thassa, Deep-Dwelling and Teleportation Circle provide recurring blink effects, while instant-speed effects like Ephemerate and Momentary Blink offer protection and additional value. The deck can win through combat damage with token armies or by establishing overwhelming card advantage and control elements.

Weaknesses:

• Heavily reliant on having creatures stick on the battlefield to generate value
• Vulnerable to graveyard hate which can shut down recursion elements
• Can struggle against faster combo decks or heavy stax effects
• Requires multiple pieces to establish its engine

Most Important Cards:

1. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling
2. Teleportation Circle
3. Soulherder
4. Ephemerate
5. Agent of Treachery
6. Archaeomancer
7. Glen Elendra Archmage
8. Spellseeker
9. Eldrazi Displacer
10. Displacer Kitten

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 7/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 8/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused-optimized level, consistently executing its strategy around turns 6-7 while maintaining interaction through counterspells and removal. The presence of efficient tutors, strong mana base, and multiple redundant pieces for its strategy puts it above casual builds, but it lacks the explosive fast mana and game-ending combos of higher-powered decks. The deck's ability to generate value while maintaining control elements places it firmly in the focused-optimized category.

Final power level rating: 6.5 - 7.0

The deck's strong interaction suite, consistent game plan, and ability to generate significant value through its blink strategy justify this rating. While it can establish strong board positions and maintain control, it typically won't threaten wins before turn 6-7, keeping it from reaching higher power levels. The deck's mana base and card quality are well-optimized, but it operates at a fair, interactive pace that's characteristic of decks in this range.
