Plan Coherence evidence
Method: weighted theme and role scores · tribal
Weighted score inputs: Synergy 100 · Draw 100 · Interaction 68.3 · Win pieces 100 · Combo 100 (each /100)
Off-theme role cards: 11.3% of nonland copies · Construct-adjusted share: 9.7% of nonland copies (not used by the weighted method)
- Stabilized plan score: synergy already carries the role-soup penalty, so the primary read avoids the legacy double-penalty.

Base vs commander
Commander tuning should preserve base-function floors before adding more theme density.
Value engines outnumber concrete closers; the deck may need clearer ways to end games.
Opening composition v2 · exact 7-card draws from 99 cards · 37 playable land faces (0 draft-only sources excluded) · 19 spells at mana value 0–2 · 8 ramp-tagged and 8 draw-tagged cards at mana value 0–3. Spell costs recorded for 62/62; missing mana values 0 (assumed 3), types 0, land text 0, nonland text 0. Land policy playable-land-faces-v1; front lands and verified modal land choices count, conditional transform backs do not. Multi-face cards 1 retain combined metadata for other estimates; invalid quantity rows excluded 0. Mana colors, tapped lands, activation costs, spending restrictions, draw conditions, multi-face availability and mulligans are not simulated.
Deck Strategy
This deck primarily plays as a tribal strategy and rewards disciplined sequencing.
In the early game, set up mana and hand quality before committing key threats. Midgame plans should build board presence through synergistic engines and incremental pressure. Your late-game priority is to leverage your strongest threats to convert a stable board into a finish.
Strategy Graph
Tribal: Sacrifice Recursion Engine into Library/Hand Pressure.
hybrid - Based on the strongest recognized support, the list has a primary Sacrifice plan with a credible Tokens package.
Counter support is unverified
6 matched card copies × 0.1 + 0 archetype bonus, capped at 1 = 0.60 candidate score. This is a heuristic score, not a win probability.
Core eligibility: four-copy threshold met; commander heuristic not matched; archetype not matched. A counter core is eligible, but another core takes precedence.
Matches can include placement, spending, opponent-directed effects and resource counters. Own growth, compatible recipients, repeatability and a finishing route need separate evidence.
counter-support-v1
Life-Resource Commander
Bane, Lord of Darkness treats life gain or life payment as an engine resource that needs stabilizers and payoffs.
Sacrifice Recursion Engine
Selected token makers provide a matching kind of material for sacrifice costs. Creating and spending that material still requires the printed costs and restrictions.
Death/Drain Payoffs
Life-drain and death-trigger payoffs convert engine loops into table pressure.
Library/Hand Pressure
Candidate plan inferred from the cards shown; required setup and effectiveness are not verified.
Plan A: Library/Hand Pressure
Plan A wants to attack cards in hand or library until opponents run out of resources or lose to draw/mill pressure.
Plan B: Life-Resource Payoff
This pivot can gain or spend life repeatedly, then convert the life-total swing into cards, damage, or a finisher.
Fallback: Attrition
If the clean finish is not available, the deck should still convert its engine into pressure through this backup route.
Establish Resources
Start with the shown resource cards. Check their costs, conditions and fit with the engine before relying on them.
Turn On The Engine
Selected token makers provide a matching kind of material for sacrifice costs. Creating and spending that material still requires the printed costs and restrictions.
Convert Into Payoff
Use the engine to generate pressure, cards, mana, or attrition that changes the table state.
Close The Game
Finish through Library/Hand Pressure.
