Overview:

A political control deck led by Breena, the Demagogue that aims to manipulate combat, generate value through life total differences, and win through a combination of combat damage and attrition.

Primer:

This deck employs a sophisticated political strategy, using Breena, the Demagogue's ability to incentivize opponents to attack each other while building up your own board presence. The strategy revolves around creating advantageous combat scenarios while protecting yourself through pillowfort effects like Ghostly Prison and Windborn Muse.

The deck includes multiple layers of protection and value generation, featuring cards that reward attacking opponents (Cunning Rhetoric, Parasitic Impetus) while maintaining defensive positions. Card draw and life manipulation elements help maintain card advantage and create the life total differences needed to trigger Breena's ability consistently. The deck can win through either commander damage, accumulated creature advantages, or by wearing down opponents through various tax effects.

Weaknesses:

The deck's reliance on combat politics makes it vulnerable to groups that refuse to engage with its political elements. The mana base is somewhat lacking, which could lead to consistency issues in the early game. The deck also struggles against combo-focused opponents who can ignore the combat-oriented gameplan, and board wipes can severely set back the creature-based strategy despite some protection pieces.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 4/10
• Resilience: 6/10
• Consistency: 5/10
• Interaction: 7/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with strong political elements and interaction pieces that can influence the game significantly. While it includes some powerful cards and synergies, its win conditions are primarily combat-based and require multiple turn cycles to execute. The deck's performance would likely struggle against more optimized decks (6.0+) due to its slower speed and reliance on combat, but it would consistently outperform most precon-level decks (4.0) due to its superior interaction suite and political tools. The inclusion of multiple protection pieces and value generators puts it firmly in the optimized casual category.

Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
