Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Gold: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 97 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 32 counts as 100 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 96 and Health 94, that is 97 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: Plea for Power (fine in 2–3 if not chained; not in 1)
- Combos are not checked yet.
Power 32: why
- 18 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- Extra turns: Plea for Power
Manabase 96: why
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 42 sources: enough for mana value 3.31
- 4 lands always enter tapped
- 25 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}: aim for about 26
Health 94: why
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 14 ramp pieces ✓
- 18 cards that draw or dig ✓

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 Galadriel, Elven-Queen. A blue-green Commander deck built around +1/+1 counters, on a Elf kindred base. 26 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 3.31.
