Overview:
A powerful Simic value engine deck built around Kodama of the East Tree and Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, focusing on generating massive advantage through landfall triggers and creature copying effects.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around establishing multiple copies of Kodama of the East Tree through Sakashima of a Thousand Faces and other clone effects, creating powerful cascading triggers that allow for explosive turns. Each permanent that enters the battlefield can potentially chain into another permanent of equal or lesser mana value, leading to massive board development.
The secondary strategy leverages landfall triggers through cards like Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, and Scute Swarm to generate card advantage and board presence. The deck can win through combat damage with an overwhelming board state or through value-based attrition, wearing down opponents with consistent card advantage and resource generation.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and mass bounce effects, which can severely disrupt its ability to maintain board presence. Heavy counter-magic can prevent the establishment of key pieces, particularly the commanders. The strategy is also somewhat dependent on having multiple permanents in hand to maximize Kodama's ability, making hand hate particularly effective.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 6/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a solid focused-optimized level, with the potential for explosive turns but requiring some setup time. While it can generate significant advantage once established, it typically needs 3-4 turns to set up its engine pieces. The deck would struggle against highly tuned competitive decks but can overwhelm more casual strategies with its value generation. The inclusion of powerful value engines and combo potential pushes it above purely casual builds, but the relatively fair nature of its strategy keeps it from reaching higher power levels.
Final power level rating: 6.0 - 6.5
