[2] EDH - Optimized: Power lvl 7-8
8: Livin On The Edge
Decks have a specific, consistent, gameplay, often following defined lines of play. Every card enables, supports, or protects the deck's primary strategy. Lots of low-cost ramp & tight curves means casting multiple spells a turn can be expected as early as turn1. Many decks, but not all, are high-budget to budgetless.
7: Playing With Power
Decks are largely refined down to just the best cards for their strategy. Perfect/ near-perfect land bases, multiple cheap tutors, highly efficient ramp, draw, etc. Most decks become less generalist as they focus more heavily on their primary strategy. Expect to see lots of powerful staples. Higher-budget decks are fairly common.
