ANALYSIS

Overview:

A high-powered Atraxa, Grand Unifier deck focusing on value-based blink strategies and infinite combos, leveraging powerful ETB effects and efficient interaction to control the game while assembling its win conditions.

Primer:

This deck operates as a value-oriented control deck with multiple infinite combo finishes. The primary gameplan revolves around using Atraxa, Grand Unifier's powerful ETB ability to generate card advantage while setting up blink/flicker effects with cards like Deadeye Navigator, Displacer Kitten, and Ephemerate. The deck can win through various infinite combinations, including Peregrine Drake + Deadeye Navigator for infinite mana, or Felidar Guardian loops with blink effects.

The secondary strategy involves controlling the game through efficient interaction and stax pieces like Grand Abolisher while generating value through powerful draw engines like Rhystic Study and Smothering Tithe. The deck runs premium interaction and protection to ensure its combos can resolve while disrupting opponents' strategies. Fast mana and efficient tutors help accelerate the deck's gameplan.

Weaknesses:

The deck's mana base could be more robust, which may impact its ability to consistently execute its strategy in the early game. Heavy reliance on the commander for card advantage makes the deck vulnerable to commander tax and removal. The deck can struggle against aggressive strategies that can get under its interaction suite before it establishes control.

Top 10 Most Impactful Cards:

  • Atraxa, Grand Unifier
  • Deadeye Navigator
  • Peregrine Drake
  • Rhystic Study
  • Force of Will
  • Mana Drain
  • Smothering Tithe
  • Chrome Mox
  • Demonic Tutor
  • Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Attribute Ratings:

  • Speed: 7/10
  • Resilience: 8/10
  • Consistency: 7/10
  • Interaction: 9/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits firmly in the high-powered category, capable of competing at strong tables but falling short of true cEDH optimization. It combines efficient interaction, powerful value engines, and multiple win conditions with premium tutors and fast mana. While it can threaten wins as early as turn 4-5, it typically aims to control the game and win in the mid-game rather than racing to an early victory. The interaction suite is particularly impressive, allowing it to protect its gameplan while disrupting opponents.

Final power level rating: 7.5 - 8.0
