ANALYSIS

Overview:

This is a Kykar, Wind's Fury storm/combo deck that aims to chain together low-cost spells to generate value through Spirit tokens and eventual combo wins, typically through Thousand-Year Storm or infinite mana combinations.

Primer:

The deck operates as a storm-based combo deck that leverages Kykar, Wind's Fury's ability to generate Spirit tokens and convert them into red mana. The core strategy involves casting multiple cheap spells per turn while generating value through various payoffs like Aria of Flame, Impact Tremors, and Jeskai Ascendancy. The deck includes multiple fast mana sources and efficient card draw to enable explosive turns.

The deck can win through several paths: generating infinite mana through combinations like Isochron Scepter with Dramatic Reversal, creating infinite spirits with cost reduction effects, or accumulating massive advantage through Thousand-Year Storm. The inclusion of tutors and card selection helps assemble these combinations consistently. The deck can also utilize Lion's Eye Diamond with Auriok Salvagers for an infinite mana combo.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate, which disrupts Past in Flames lines and recursion-based strategies. Artifact removal can be particularly problematic as it disrupts both mana acceleration and combo pieces. The relatively low creature count makes the deck susceptible to aggressive strategies if it can't assemble its combos quickly enough.

Most Important Cards:

  • Isochron Scepter
  • Dramatic Reversal
  • Lion's Eye Diamond
  • Auriok Salvagers
  • Thousand-Year Storm
  • Jeskai Ascendancy
  • Past in Flames
  • Chrome Mox
  • Mox Diamond
  • Mystical Tutor

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck demonstrates the hallmarks of a high-powered competitive deck, with multiple fast mana sources, efficient tutors, and compact combo lines that can win as early as turn 3-4. While it lacks some of the most powerful pieces seen in top-tier cEDH decks, it maintains consistency through redundant effects and strong card selection. The interaction suite, including free counterspells and efficient removal, places it firmly in the high-power category.

Final power level rating: 8.0 - 8.5

The deck's ability to consistently threaten wins by turn 3-4 through multiple paths, backed by interaction and protection, justifies its rating in the high-power/cEDH-viable range. 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.
