Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 78 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 17 counts as 68 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 90 and Health 80, that is 78 on average (weights 40 / 30 / 30).
- No Game Changers, mass land denial or pile of extra turns: Core by the list. Exhibition (1) is about what a deck is for, and only you can say that.
- Combos are not checked yet.
Power 17: why
- Average mana value 4.02: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 12 cards that draw or dig
Manabase 90: why
- 9 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 46 sources: enough for mana value 4.02
- Every colour has the sources its heaviest cards want
Health 80: why
- 11 spells cost 6 or more (18% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 5 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 22 ramp pieces ✓

- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 12 cards that draw or dig
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring

Led by Bello, Bard of the Brambles. A red-green Commander deck built around treasure ramp. 22 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 4.02.
