Overview:
A cycling-focused deck led by Gavi, Nest Warden that aims to generate value through card draw and token generation, utilizing various payoffs for cycling cards while maintaining board presence through creature tokens.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around cycling cards to trigger various effects while getting free cycles from Gavi, Nest Warden. Key enchantments like Drake Haven, Lightning Rift, and Spirit Cairn provide additional value from cycling. The deck can generate significant board presence through tokens while maintaining card advantage. Win conditions include going wide with tokens, commander damage with buffed creatures, or dealing direct damage through effects like Zenith Flare. The deck can play both aggressively and defensively, adapting to the game state through its flexible cycling options.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate, which can shut down several key recursion elements and weaken Zenith Flare. Enchantment removal can severely impact the deck's ability to generate value from cycling. The deck can sometimes struggle with maintaining consistent pressure if its token generators are removed.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with consistent execution of its strategy but without the explosive power of higher-tier decks. It has good card advantage and interaction through cycling, but typically needs several turns to establish its engine and close out games. The deck performs well against other 5.0-5.5 decks but would struggle against more optimized strategies that can win before it establishes its engine. The inclusion of valuable interaction pieces and flexible cycling options helps it maintain relevance throughout the game.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
