Evasive Maneuvers
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 80 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 73 and Health 78, that is 80 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
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- Average mana value 3.44: middling
- 2 answers at mana value 2 or less
Manabase 73: why
- 18 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
- 11 lands always enter tapped
- 20 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
Health 78: why
- Only 6 cards that draw or dig (aim for 10)
- Only 7 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)

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 Derevi, Empyrial Tactician. A white-blue-green Commander deck built around blink effects. 30 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 3.44.
