ANALYSIS

Overview:

A highly optimized Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck that combines aristocrats strategy with infinite token generation combos, supported by a robust suite of tutors and fast mana. The deck can consistently threaten wins by turn 3-4 through various combo lines.

Primer:

This deck operates as a high-powered aristocrats combo deck that leverages Chatterfang, Squirrel General's token doubling ability to generate massive value and enable multiple infinite combos. The primary win conditions include infinite damage through Blood Artist effects combined with token generation/sacrifice loops, or creating infinite tokens with combinations like Scurry Oak + Earthcraft. The deck runs a comprehensive tutor package and premium acceleration to consistently assemble its pieces.

The deck's strength lies in its ability to pivot between different lines of play. Early game focuses on establishing mana acceleration through dorks and artifacts, while setting up value engines through cards like Skullclamp and Necropotence. The mid-game typically involves assembling one of several combo lines while maintaining protection through cards like Heroic Intervention and Veil of Summer. The deck can also grind out value through its token generators and aristocrats pieces if needed.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and cards that prevent token generation like Hushbringer. While it runs interaction, it can struggle against heavy control strategies that consistently disrupt its combo pieces. The reliance on creatures for mana acceleration makes it somewhat vulnerable to board wipes, though it can rebuild quickly through its robust card advantage engines.

Most Important Cards:

  • Earthcraft
  • Protean Hulk
  • Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
  • Pitiless Plunderer
  • Blood Artist
  • Gaea's Cradle
  • Doubling Season
  • Necropotence
  • Demonic Tutor
  • Skullclamp

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 9/10
  • Resilience: 8/10
  • Consistency: 9/10
  • Interaction: 8/10

Rating Justification:

This deck consistently threatens wins by turn 3-4 through multiple combo lines, protected by efficient interaction and backed by premium tutors and card advantage. While not quite reaching the consistency of top-tier cEDH decks that can reliably win on turn 2, it operates at a level just below that threshold. The presence of multiple viable combo lines, strong protection, and efficient tutoring puts this deck solidly in the high-power/fringe cEDH category.

Final power level rating: 8.5 - 9.0

The deck demonstrates the hallmarks of a cEDH-viable list with its low curve, efficient interaction package, and ability to consistently threaten early wins. While it may not be as explosively fast as top-tier cEDH decks, its resilience and consistency make it a formidable competitor at high-powered tables.
