Overview:

A Feather, the Redeemed combat-focused deck that aims to win through commander damage and token generation by repeatedly casting cheap targeting spells that return to hand, creating an engine of card advantage and creature buffs.

Primer:

This deck operates by leveraging Feather, the Redeemed's ability to recycle targeting spells each turn, creating a powerful value engine. The primary gameplan involves protecting and buffing Feather or other key creatures while generating incremental advantage through cards that cantrip (draw a card) when cast. The deck includes several token generators like Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor that benefit from the high volume of spells being cast.

Secondary win conditions include going wide with tokens through cards like Zada, Hedron Grinder and Mirrorwing Dragon which can multiply your targeting spells across your board. The deck can also win through direct damage via Guttersnipe or commander damage after buffing Feather, the Redeemed with multiple combat steps and protection spells.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on having its commander in play, making it vulnerable to repeated removal or tax effects. Board wipes can be particularly devastating if protection spells aren't available, as the deck needs creatures in play to function. The strategy can also struggle against heavy counterspell-based control decks that can prevent the crucial targeting spells from resolving.

• Resilience: 6/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 6/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a focused casual level, with the ability to generate significant value through its commander but requiring setup time to get going. While it includes some powerful cards and interaction pieces, it typically won't threaten wins before turn 8-9 without perfect draws. The deck is more resilient than typical casual builds due to its protection suite but less explosive than higher-powered decks. It sits comfortably above precon level due to its focused strategy and card quality but below truly optimized builds that can win earlier or more consistently.

Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
