Likely, this would take the form of a 1-10 system with associated documentation to help you decided where your deck falls. This rating would be visible to other users, and likely be a searchable field. \n\nThis is a bit of a controversial one for reasons I'm sure others will share, but it comes up frequently enough that we feel it's worth having a designated space to discuss it. Opinions, both supporting and against, are welcome. \n\nIf this proposed feature is of interest to you, give the thread a thumbs-up and leave your thoughts below! User interest in each feature will help us prioritize in development.\n"}]}

The \"Jank\" tag already exists, why not give it an opposite?\n"}]}

For example, how would you be able to assign a power value to Muldrotha's ability to recur a fetchland out of its graveyard every turn? You really cannot. But there are some universal variables that can be accounted for in each deck. If every deck is subject to the same evaluation, that can be a good jumping off point for a power level score, and then after that the community can help tweak the power level, possibly, to help account for the real world performance of a deck.\n"}]}
