Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis

1. Main Theme, Strategy, and Win Conditions: The deck focuses on group hug strategies, card draw, and resource sharing, with alternative win conditions through mill (Keening Stone) or combat damage (Insurrection). It aims to control the game pace while building resources for a late-game win. 2. Primer: This Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis deck employs a group hug strategy, encouraging opponents to draw cards and play lands while setting up its own board state. The deck uses symmetrical draw effects and mana ramp to accelerate the game, while utilizing pillowfort cards to protect itself. It aims to outlast opponents by accumulating resources and controlling the board. Win conditions include milling opponents with Keening Stone, using Psychosis Crawler with mass card draw, or taking over the game with Insurrection. The deck balances giving opponents resources with maintaining control through cards like Propaganda and Ghostly Prison. 3. Weaknesses: The deck may struggle against aggressive strategies that can take advantage of the additional resources provided. It's also vulnerable to targeted removal of key pieces like Smothering Tithe or Rhystic Study. The reliance on late-game win conditions means it could be outpaced by faster, more focused decks. 4. Top 10 Most Impactful Cards: - Smothering Tithe - Rhystic Study - Cyclonic Rift - Propaganda - Seedborn Muse - Insurrection - Psychosis Crawler - Forced Fruition - Keening Stone - Sol Ring 5. Attribute Ratings: - Speed: 4/10 - Resilience: 6/10 - Consistency: 7/10 - Interaction: 6/10 6. Final Rating and Justification: This deck falls into the optimized casual range due to its consistent execution of a group hug strategy with some powerful cards and interactions. It's not as fast as higher-powered decks, typically aiming to win around turn 10-12, which places it above the 5.0 range. However, it lacks the speed and tight focus of 6.0+ decks. The inclusion of cards like Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, and Cyclonic Rift elevates its power level above average casual decks. Its consistency in drawing cards and ramping puts it firmly in the 5.5 range, but it doesn't quite reach the 6.0 level due to its slower win conditions and group hug elements that can benefit opponents. Final power level rating: 5.3 - 5.7
