Overview:
A mono-white equipment and token-focused deck led by Nahiri, the Lithomancer, aiming to create value through equipment synergies and token generation while maintaining board control through various removal options.
Primer:
The deck operates by establishing Nahiri, the Lithomancer and leveraging her abilities to create equipped tokens and recur equipment pieces. Early game focuses on ramping with artifacts and establishing token generators. Mid-game involves building a board presence through token creation and equipment synergies. The deck can win through either going wide with tokens or tall with heavily equipped creatures. Key synergies include Kemba, Kha Regent for additional token generation and Cathars' Crusade to pump the team. The deck can grind out long games through recursion effects and consistent token generation.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and artifact removal, which can severely disrupt its equipment-based strategy. The relatively slow speed and reliance on combat damage makes it susceptible to faster combo decks. The deck also struggles against heavy control strategies that can prevent it from establishing a board presence.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 4/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual power level, with a clear strategy but lacking the explosive plays or fast mana needed for higher-powered tables. While it includes some strong value engines and interaction pieces, its reliance on combat damage and relatively slow setup time places it firmly in the casual category. The deck would struggle against focused decks (6.0+) due to its speed but could hold its own against other casual strategies. The inclusion of some strong interaction and value pieces elevates it slightly above basic precon level.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
