Blast from the Past
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Gold: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 90 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 31 counts as 100 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 83 and Health 84, that is 90 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.
- Extra turns in low numbers: Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting (fine in 2–3 if not chained; not in 1)
- Combos are not checked yet.
Power 31: why
- 14 cards that draw or dig
- Average mana value 3.39: middling
- Extra turns: Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting
Manabase 83: why
- 11 lands always enter tapped
- 25 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
- 36 lands, counting ramp ≈ 41 sources: enough for mana value 3.39
Health 84: why
- Only 4 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 8 spells cost 6 or more (13% of spells; aim under 10%)
- 11 ramp pieces ✓

Scores read the list alone, from each card's own rules text: they can't see how a deck is played. Bracket names and the Game Changers list are Wizards of the Coast's (Commander Brackets, list as Wizards last changed it, 9 February 2026).
Led by The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. A white-blue-green Commander deck built around artifacts. 27 creatures, 36 lands, average mana value 3.39.
