Overview:
A combat-focused political deck led by Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser that uses goad and suspect mechanics to force opponents to attack each other while drawing cards from their combat damage.
Primer:
The deck aims to manipulate combat through goad effects and political incentives, creating a chaotic board state where opponents are forced to attack each other. The commander provides card advantage when goaded creatures deal damage to opponents. The strategy involves playing defensive enchantments and creatures to protect yourself while using goad effects to direct combat elsewhere. Win conditions include commander damage, combat damage from large creatures like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, or wearing down opponents through forced combat.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal since it relies heavily on creature-based strategies. It can struggle against combo decks that don't care about combat. The deck's reliance on combat damage for card draw means it can fall behind against control-heavy metas.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual power level, with a focus on political gameplay and combat manipulation. While it includes some powerful cards like Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, its reliance on combat damage and political elements makes it slower than more optimized strategies. The deck has decent interaction through removal and damage prevention effects but lacks the consistency and speed of higher-powered decks. It would struggle against decks rated 6.0 or higher but could hold its own against other casual decks in the 4.0-5.0 range.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
