Overview:

This is a highly optimized Korvold, Fae-Cursed King deck that combines land-based value engines with fast mana and efficient tutors to create explosive turns, generating massive card advantage through land sacrifices and establishing game-ending board states as early as turn 3-4.

Primer:

The ideal opening hand should contain fast mana (Mana Vault, Chrome Mox, Sol Ring) and either land tutors (Crop Rotation, Three Visits) or value engines (The Gitrog Monster, Lotus Cobra). Early game focuses on establishing mana acceleration and setting up value engines. Key early plays include deploying mana doublers and establishing recursive land strategies with cards like Ramunap Excavator or Crucible of Worlds.

Mid-game revolves around leveraging Korvold's sacrifice trigger with lands and tokens to draw through the deck while building a threatening commander. The deck can transition into explosive turns using Scapeshift or Splendid Reclamation combined with Field of the Dead or Tireless Provisioner for massive value. Late game typically ends through commander damage, Craterhoof Behemoth, or large Torment of Hailfire enabled by the deck's substantial mana generation.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate, which disrupts its recursive land strategies. Commander removal can significantly slow down the deck's primary engine, though it maintains alternate win conditions. Specific weaknesses include Rest in Peace, Grafdigger's Cage, and cards that prevent additional land drops. The deck can struggle against heavy control strategies that prevent Korvold from staying on the battlefield.

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 9/10
• Resilience: 8/10
• Consistency: 9/10
• Interaction: 7/10

Rating Justification:

This deck consistently threatens wins or establishes overwhelming advantage by turn 3-4, powered by fast mana and efficient tutors. While not quite at the speed of top-tier cEDH decks, it's clearly operating at a high-power level with multiple paths to victory and strong protection. The presence of multiple redundant effects, powerful interaction, and the ability to recover from disruption places it firmly in the high-power category, though just below top-tier cEDH decks.

Final power level rating: 8.5 - 9.0

The deck demonstrates the hallmarks of a cEDH-viable strategy with its consistent early game threats, robust protection package, and ability to generate overwhelming advantage through multiple lines of play. While it may not consistently threaten turn 1-2 wins like the highest-powered decks, it reliably establishes game-winning positions by turn 3-4.
