Overview:
A Human tribal deck led by Leinore, Autumn Sovereign that focuses on +1/+1 counters and coven mechanics, aiming to create a diverse board of creatures with different powers to generate card advantage and battlefield superiority.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around developing a board state with creatures of varying power levels to trigger coven abilities. Leinore, Autumn Sovereign provides steady card advantage while buffing creatures with +1/+1 counters. The deck uses Human tribal synergies and counter manipulation to create threats while maintaining card advantage. Early game focuses on establishing mana and creatures, mid-game on developing power diversity, and late game on overwhelming opponents with buffed creatures or going wide with tokens. The deck can pivot between aggressive combat strategies and value-based grinding depending on the game state.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, as it relies heavily on maintaining creatures on the battlefield. The coven mechanic can be disrupted by targeted removal of key power-diverse creatures. The deck can struggle against faster strategies as it requires time to set up its engine and may have difficulty recovering if Leinore is repeatedly removed.

- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 4/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual power level with some focused elements but lacks the explosive speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it has some strong synergies and can generate value through its commander and key pieces, it typically needs several turns to establish its gameplan. The interaction suite is modest, and the deck's reliance on creatures makes it vulnerable to disruption. It would struggle against decks rated 6.0 or higher but could hold its own against other casual strategies.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
