Overview:
A graveyard-focused Jund deck that utilizes dredge mechanics and graveyard recursion to generate value, with Life from the Loam and various dredge creatures forming the engine while using removal and creature-based threats as finishers.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish a strong graveyard presence early through dredge cards like Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Grave-Troll. Use Buried Alive to fill the graveyard with utility creatures like Genesis, Anger, and Brawn to enhance your board. Life from the Loam helps maintain land drops and enables cycling lands for card advantage. The deck can grind out games through recursive value or switch to an aggressive strategy with hasty creatures once Anger is online. Commander Xira Arien serves as a backup card draw engine when needed.
Weaknesses:
The deck is particularly vulnerable to graveyard hate like Rest in Peace or Bojuka Bog, which can shut down many of its core strategies. The mana base is somewhat slow and clunky, with many lands entering tapped. The deck can struggle against faster strategies as it needs time to set up its engine.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 6/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual-focused power level, with a solid graveyard strategy but lacking the explosive plays or fast mana needed for higher power tables. While it has good interaction through removal spells and can grind out long games, it's slower than optimized decks and vulnerable to common hate pieces. It performs better than precon-level decks due to its cohesive strategy and recursion elements, but would struggle against focused decks that can win before it establishes its engine.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
