ANALYSIS

Overview:

A tribal Cat deck led by Arahbo, Roar of the World that focuses on aggressive combat through power boosting and cat tribal synergies, with a secondary +1/+1 counter theme.

Primer:

This deck operates as a combat-focused tribal strategy, leveraging Arahbo, Roar of the World's eminence ability to boost cats even before casting the commander. The primary gameplan involves deploying efficient cats early, then using Arahbo's combat trigger and various tribal anthems to create threatening attacks. The deck includes several ways to protect its creatures and generate card advantage through combat damage triggers.

The secondary strategy involves +1/+1 counters and various forms of evasion to push through damage. Cards like Felidar Retreat and Pride Sovereign create additional cat tokens to go wide, while equipment and combat tricks help individual creatures hit harder. The deck can grind out longer games through its card draw engines and recursive threats.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on combat damage to win, making it vulnerable to board wipes and fog effects. It lacks significant instant-speed interaction outside of a few key pieces, making it difficult to protect against combo decks. The mana curve is somewhat high for an aggressive strategy, which can lead to clunky opening hands and slower starts.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Arahbo, Roar of the World
  • Feline Sovereign
  • Regal Caracal
  • Pride Sovereign
  • Felidar Retreat
  • Unnatural Growth
  • Guardian Project
  • Lifecrafter's Bestiary
  • Vanquisher's Banner
  • Herald's Horn

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 4/10
  • Resilience: 5/10
  • Consistency: 6/10
  • Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck performs at a level slightly above a typical precon, with better tribal synergies and more focused gameplay. While it includes some powerful cards and synergies, it lacks the explosive starts and interaction suite needed to compete at higher power levels. The deck can consistently execute its gameplan but typically won't threaten wins before turn 8-9. It would struggle against decks rated 6.0 or higher due to their faster combo potential and better interaction, but could effectively compete with other combat-focused decks in the 4.0-5.0 range.

Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
