Overview:
A token-focused deck led by Hazel of the Rootbloom that aims to generate value through creating and sacrificing tokens, particularly Squirrels, while using them as a mana source through the commander's ability.
Primer:
The deck operates by establishing a token-generating engine through various means, particularly focusing on Squirrel tokens which get extra value from the commander's ability. The strategy involves creating a wide board presence while leveraging various payoffs for tokens dying or entering the battlefield. The commander serves as both a mana engine and token duplicator, allowing for explosive turns when properly set up. The deck can win through combat damage with an overwhelming number of tokens, or through drain effects from death triggers.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal, which can severely set back the token-building strategy. Heavy graveyard hate can limit recursion options, and the deck can struggle against faster combo decks or heavy control strategies. The strategy is also somewhat dependent on having the commander in play to maximize effectiveness.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a casual-focused level, with a clear strategy and some powerful synergies but lacking the speed and consistency of higher-powered decks. While it can create impressive board states and generate significant value, it typically needs several turns to set up its engine and doesn't have the fast mana or tutors to consistently threaten early wins. The interaction suite is present but modest, and the deck can struggle against more optimized strategies. It performs better than precon-level decks but falls short of highly tuned focused decks.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
