Overview:

This Orzhov party/dungeon deck leverages Burakos' treasure generation and Folk Hero's card draw to build incremental value through creature synergies. While capable of explosive turns with a full party, its reliance on creature-based combat and dice-rolling mechanics creates inconsistency. The deck operates at optimized casual levels with moderate interaction and some cEDH staples.

Primer:

Core Strategy: The deck aims to assemble a full party (Cleric/Rogue/Warrior/Wizard) by turns 4-5 to maximize Burakos' treasure generation and enable cost-reduced spells. Key phases:

1. Party Assembly: Use tutors (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor) to find key typal creatures like Nalia de'Arnise and Squad Commander
2. Value Engine Activation: Leverage Folk Hero's draw-on-cast with Burakos' treasure production to out-resource opponents
3. Win Conversion: Use treasure-fueled bombs (The Deck of Many Things, Mindslaver) or combat buffs (Allied Assault, Multiclass Baldric)

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2+ party creature types
• Prioritize early ramp (Sol Ring, Arcane Signet)
• Reject hands without creature diversity

Key Tips:

• Sequence party members by mana value (Clerics/Wizards first)
• Use Opposition Agent to disrupt while developing your board
• Save Drannith Magistrate for combo matchups

Avoid Traps:

• Overcommitting to dungeon mechanics without payoff
• Holding dice-rolling artifacts without treasure synergy
• Casting Burakos before establishing 2+ party members

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• No infinite combos or deterministic win conditions
• Heavy reliance on maintaining 4+ creature types

Moderate:

• Limited graveyard recursion beyond Thwart the Grave
• Dice-rolling introduces variance

Minor:

• Some high-CMC dungeon payoffs

Most Important Cards:

• Nalia de'Arnise
• Opposition Agent
• Demonic Tutor
• Vampiric Tutor
• Squad Commander
• Multiclass Baldric
• Drannith Magistrate
• Black Market Connections
• Mindslaver
• The Deck of Many Things

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

• Theoretical T6-8 wins through combat/drain
• Dungeon completion adds 2-3 turns to clock

Resilience: 4/10

• Vulnerable to typal hate (Crippling Fear)
• Limited protection beyond Multiclass Baldric

Consistency: 6/10

• 8 tutors + Folk Hero draw smooths party assembly
• Dice mechanics introduce variance

Interaction: 5/10

• Targeted removal (Deadly Alliance)
• Stax pieces (Aven Mindcensor, Drannith Magistrate)
• Lacks free counterspells

Rating Justification:

The deck exceeds strong precons (5.0) through tutor density and stax elements but lacks cEDH's speed/protection. Compared to 6.0 decks:

• Slower than T7-8 combo decks
• Less interaction than focused lists
• More fragile than value-based midrange

Power level: 5.0 - 5.5
