ANALYSIS

Overview:

A high-powered Korvold, Fae-Cursed King deck focused on generating value through sacrifice synergies, particularly with Treasures, while maintaining strong interaction and protection elements.

Primer:

This deck operates as a value engine centered around sacrificing permanents to draw cards and grow Korvold, Fae-Cursed King. The primary strategy involves generating numerous Treasure tokens through various means (Pitiless Plunderer, Old Gnawbone, Professional Face-Breaker) while leveraging sacrifice outlets (Phyrexian Altar, Ashnod's Altar) to create card advantage and board presence.

The deck can win through commander damage with a massive Korvold, drain effects from Blood Artist effects, or through alternate win conditions like Revel in Riches. The inclusion of multiple tutors and protection pieces ensures consistency and resilience, while the strong mana base enables quick deployment of threats and responses.

Weaknesses:

Heavy reliance on the commander makes the deck vulnerable to repeated removal or tuck effects. Graveyard hate can disrupt recursion lines, while artifact removal can severely impact the Treasure-based strategy. The deck can sometimes struggle against aggressive strategies if it doesn't find its early interaction pieces.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Korvold, Fae-Cursed King
  • Phyrexian Altar
  • Pitiless Plunderer
  • Demonic Tutor
  • Blood Artist
  • Old Gnawbone
  • Mayhem Devil
  • Academy Manufactor
  • Vampiric Tutor
  • Ashnod's Altar

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck demonstrates significant optimization with a robust mana base, efficient tutors, and strong protection pieces, placing it firmly in the focused competitive range. It can consistently threaten wins around turns 5-6 through various means, while maintaining interaction to protect its gameplan. The deck performs well against other 7.0 decks but might struggle against faster cEDH builds, while being too efficient for casual tables below 6.5.

Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
