Overview:

This is a Plagon, Lord of the Beach deck focused on utilizing creatures with high toughness and low power, combining blink effects with ETB triggers to generate value while controlling the game. The deck includes multiple infinite combos and alternative win conditions through Laboratory Maniac and Thassa's Oracle.

Primer:

The deck operates on multiple axes, primarily utilizing its commander Plagon, Lord of the Beach to draw cards when creatures with higher toughness than power enter the battlefield. The deck employs numerous blink effects (Ephemerate, Restoration Angel, Displacer Kitten) to repeatedly trigger ETB effects and generate card advantage. The deck can win through combat damage by using Plagon's ability to make creatures deal damage equal to their toughness, or through alternative win conditions.

The deck includes several powerful control elements and stax pieces (Drannith Magistrate, Grafdigger's Cage, Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines) while maintaining the ability to assemble various infinite combos. Key combinations include Felidar Guardian loops with blink effects and Naru Meha, Master Wizard with Ghostly Flicker for infinite ETB triggers. The deck can then leverage these loops with Altar of the Brood or draw its entire library to win via Laboratory Maniac or Thassa's Oracle.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate and artifact removal, which can disrupt many of its combo lines. While it runs significant interaction, it can struggle against aggressive strategies that deploy multiple threats before it establishes control. The reliance on creatures for combo pieces makes it susceptible to creature-based removal, though it runs protection effects to mitigate this weakness.

1. Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines
2. Displacer Kitten
3. Naru Meha, Master Wizard
4. Laboratory Maniac
5. Thassa's Oracle
6. Ephemerate
7. Smothering Tithe

9. Mystic Remora
10. Cyclonic Rift

Attribute Ratings:

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

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at a high power level, consistently threatening wins or establishing strong control by turns 4-5. It includes multiple tutors, efficient interaction, and several viable win conditions. While not quite reaching full cEDH optimization, it sits comfortably in the high-power category due to its consistent ability to either combo off or establish strong control positions. The presence of premium interaction and protection pieces, along with multiple backup plans, places it above typical focused competitive decks but below fully optimized cEDH builds.

Final power level rating: 8.0 - 8.5

The deck's rating reflects its ability to consistently threaten wins or establish strong control positions by turn 4-5, while maintaining the ability to interact with and disrupt opponent's strategies. The inclusion of multiple tutors, efficient interaction, and several viable win conditions places it firmly in the high-power category, though it falls short of top-tier cEDH optimization.
