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.
Focused
- Average mana value 3.60: middling
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 Game Changer: Seedborn Muse
- 12 cards that draw or dig
- 5 answers at mana value 2 or less
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Fair
- 12 lands always enter tapped
- 15 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}: aim for about 26
- 17 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}: aim for about 26
- 40 lands, counting ramp ≈ 42.5 sources: enough for mana value 3.60
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?

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 Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer. A blue-black-green Commander deck. 32 creatures, 40 lands, average mana value 3.60.
