md5-9b51f4e2a1d5430c5d0a9c70320f999c
A mono-blue control deck helmed by Talrand, Sky Summoner that generates value through Drake tokens while controlling the board and setting up for either a token swarm victory or combo finish with Laboratory Maniac/Leveler.
md5-dbcb263d963c7292c70b68d090b6d169
This deck operates primarily as a draw-go control strategy, leveraging powerful counterspells and interaction while generating incremental advantage through Drake tokens from Talrand's ability. The deck runs a robust suite of fast mana and efficient card selection to establish control early, while maintaining flexibility between its various win conditions.
The primary gameplan involves protecting Talrand while casting cheap instants and sorceries to build a flying army. Alternative win conditions include the Laboratory Maniac/Leveler combo or taking extra turns with Time Warp while accumulating an overwhelming board presence. The deck includes powerful card advantage engines like Rhystic Study and Mystic Remora to maintain control and find key pieces.

The deck is heavily reliant on having Talrand in play to generate value, making it vulnerable to repeated removal. The mana base, while including powerful lands, could benefit from additional utility lands that provide more strategic options. The relatively low creature count makes the deck susceptible to board wipes that can eliminate its token army, though counterspell backup helps mitigate this weakness.

Attribute Ratings:
md5-3fb8e4fb7fd1e671e51865f20e00fef0
Rating Justification:
This deck sits comfortably in the focused competitive range due to its robust interaction suite, efficient mana acceleration, and multiple paths to victory. While it can establish strong control positions by turns 5-6, it lacks the explosive fast mana and turn 2-3 wins of higher-powered decks. However, it significantly outperforms casual decks through its consistent disruption and ability to protect its gameplan. The inclusion of premium countermagic and card advantage engines places it above typical optimized builds but below true cEDH contenders.
Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
