Death Toll
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 84 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 22 counts as 88 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 90 and Health 73, that is 84 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 22: why
- Average mana value 3.50: middling
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
Manabase 90: why
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 42.5 sources: enough for mana value 3.50
- 27 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
Health 73: why
- Only 1 board wipe (aim for 2)
- 11 spells cost 6 or more (18% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 5 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)

How fast and how hard this deck can take over a game. Absolute: about 90 and up is cEDH, so a casual deck scores low on purpose.

- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
- 9 cards that draw or dig

Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?

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 Winter, Cynical Opportunist. A black-green Commander deck built around milling and graveyard recursion. 28 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 3.50.
