ANALYSIS

Overview:

A madness-focused deck built around Anje Falkenrath's ability to filter cards and generate value through discarding. The strategy revolves around using madness cards for cost reduction while generating card advantage and board presence.

Primer:

The deck aims to use Anje Falkenrath's discard ability to filter through the deck while getting value from madness cards and discard synergies. Key pieces like Bone Miser and Faith of the Devoted provide additional value from discarding. The deck can win through combat damage with efficient creatures cast for their madness costs, or through attrition by generating card advantage and recurring threats. Early game focuses on setting up value engines, mid-game on establishing board presence, and late game on overwhelming opponents with recurring threats and value.

Weaknesses:

The deck is heavily reliant on having the commander in play to function optimally, making it vulnerable to removal. The mana base is somewhat slow with many lands entering tapped, and the deck can struggle if it can't find its key payoff pieces for discarding. Graveyard hate can severely impact the deck's recursion strategy.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Bone Miser
  • Faith of the Devoted
  • K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth
  • Chainer, Nightmare Adept
  • Geth, Lord of the Vault
  • Soul of Innistrad
  • From Under the Floorboards
  • Grimoire of the Dead
  • Key to the City
  • Squee, Goblin Nabob

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 4/10
  • Resilience: 5/10
  • Consistency: 6/10
  • Interaction: 4/10

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a casual power level with some focused elements. While it has a clear strategy and some powerful synergies, it lacks the fast mana and efficient interaction needed to compete at higher power levels. The deck can generate good value over time but typically needs several turns to set up its engine pieces. It would struggle against more optimized decks but could hold its own against other casual strategies. The inclusion of several value generators and recursion effects gives it staying power in longer games.

Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
