Overview:
A lifegain-focused deck led by Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn that aims to generate value through life gain triggers while distributing +1/+1 counters across creatures to create an overwhelming board presence.
Primer:
This deck operates on a synergistic strategy combining life gain triggers with +1/+1 counter distribution. The commander, Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, serves as the primary engine, converting life gain into counter distribution at each end step. The deck includes numerous creatures with lifelink and life gain triggers, such as Celestial Unicorn and Trelasarra, Moon Dancer, which both benefit from and contribute to the deck's primary strategy.
The deck's gameplan typically unfolds in stages: early game focuses on establishing mana development and initial life gain sources, mid-game involves building a board presence with creatures that benefit from counters, and late game aims to overwhelm opponents with large creatures or achieve alternative wins through cards like Felidar Sovereign. The inclusion of cards like Well of Lost Dreams helps maintain card advantage while executing the primary strategy.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, which can severely set back the counter-building strategy. Graveyard hate and effects that prevent life gain can significantly hamper the deck's performance. The mana base could be improved with more dual lands and utility lands, and the deck might struggle against faster, combo-oriented strategies due to its relatively slow development.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual level, with a clear theme and strategy but lacking the explosive power or consistency of higher-powered decks. While it includes some strong cards and interactions, its reliance on combat damage and life gain triggers places it firmly in the casual category. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0) due to its slower speed but could hold its own against other casual decks. The inclusion of some interaction and protection effects prevents it from falling to lower power levels.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
