Overview:

Olivia, Opulent Outlaw leads a midrange Mardu Outlaw tribal deck focused on generating Treasure through combat damage and converting it into board-wide buffs. The deck operates through incremental value from creature types (Assassins/Rogues/etc.), recursion engines, and moderate interaction. While synergistic, it lacks fast combos or robust protection.

Primer:

Core Strategy: This deck aims to swarm with evasive outlaws (Changeling Outcast, Mistmeadow Skulk) to generate Treasures via Olivia's trigger, then use those tokens to fuel Olivia, Opulent Outlaw's +1/+1 counter ability or animate them with Vihaan, Goldwaker. Key phases:

1. Early Setup: Deploy low-CMC outlaws (Impulsive Pilferer, Dire Fleet Daredevil) and ramp (signets, Sol Ring).
2. Midgame Value: Recur threats with Back in Town/Graywater's Fixer, generate card advantage via Morbid Opportunist/Bonders' Enclave.
3. Payoff Turns: Convert Treasures into combat wins using Mirror Entity's buffs or steal opponents' boards with Mass Mutiny/Captivating Crew.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3 lands (prioritize untapped)
• 1-2 early outlaws or ramp
• At least 1 value engine (Life Insurance, Rain of Riches) Avoid hands without early creature plays or color-fixing.

Key Tips:

• Use Lightning Greaves to protect Olivia or key attackers
• Save Boros Charm for board wipe protection
• Academy Manufactor triples Treasure output when triggering Olivia
• Command Beacon circumvents commander tax for critical recasts

Avoid Traps:

• Overextending into wraths without Boros Charm backup
• Wasting Treasures on marginal buffs instead of saving for critical mass

Weaknesses:

Moderate:

• Relies on combat damage for primary engine (folds to Ghostly Prison/Propaganda)
• Limited protection for key pieces (only 3 protection spells)
• Slow recovery from board wipes Minor:
• Some high-CMC payoffs (Angrath's Marauders, Hex)
• Basic-heavy manabase with tapped lands

Most Important Cards:

• Academy Manufactor
• Mirror Entity
• Back in Town
• Graywater's Fixer
• Vihaan, Goldwaker
• We Ride at Dawn
• Mass Mutiny
• Lightning Greaves
• Boros Charm
• Veinwitch Coven

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10
Goldfish win ~T8-9 via combat pumps. No fast mana or combo acceleration.

Resilience: 5/10
Moderate recursion (Back in Town, Veinwitch Coven) but vulnerable to commander-focused removal.

Consistency: 5/10
Limited tutors (only Demonic Tutor missing) but solid tribal redundancy.

Interaction: 5/10
10 targeted removal (Feed the Swarm, Shoot the Sheriff), 3 wraths, no free counters.

Rating Justification:

Sits between "Casual/Precon" (T10-12 wins) and "Focused Casual" (T9-11) benchmarks. Outperforms precons with tribal synergy and Treasure payoffs but lacks the speed/tutoring of Tuned decks. Comparable to upgraded precons but without cEDH staples.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
