Overview:
A high-powered Simic value engine deck centered around Koma, World-Eater that generates overwhelming board presence through token multiplication and efficient ramp, protected by a strong suite of interaction and countermagic.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple axes, utilizing efficient ramp packages (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, mana dorks) to accelerate into its commander or other value engines. Early game focuses on establishing mana advantage and card draw through cards like Rhystic Study and The Great Henge. The deck's token-doubling effects (Doubling Season, Parallel Lives) combined with Koma's ability create an exponentially growing army of serpents.
The mid-to-late game leverages this board presence with several paths to victory: combat damage through multiplied tokens, commander damage with Sword of Feast and Famine and other equipment, or instant wins via Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Hordes. The deck maintains control through a robust counterspell package and protection spells, while cards like Seedborn Muse enable constant interaction and token generation during opponents' turns.
Weaknesses:
The deck is somewhat vulnerable to graveyard hate and can struggle against heavy board wipes, though Heroic Intervention provides some protection. While the commander is resistant to counters, targeted removal can slow down the deck's momentum, especially if key token doublers are removed. The relatively high mana curve means early aggression can be problematic before the deck establishes its engine.
Most Important Cards:
- Doubling Season
- Seedborn Muse
- The Great Henge

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 8/10
- Resilience: 7/10
- Consistency: 8/10
- Interaction: 9/10
Rating Justification:
This deck consistently threatens wins or establishes dominant board presence by turns 4-5, backed by premium interaction and protection. While not quite reaching cEDH levels, it's significantly above focused competitive decks due to its efficient mana base, strong interaction suite, and multiple win conditions. The presence of free counterspells, fast mana, and powerful value engines places it firmly in the high-power category.
Final power level rating: 8.0 - 8.5
