Maestros Massacre
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 88 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 24 counts as 96 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 84 and Health 84, that is 88 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 24: why
- Average mana value 3.63: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 12 cards that draw or dig
Manabase 84: why
- 23 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}{B}: aim for about 30
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 21 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}: aim for about 26
Health 84: why
- 10 spells cost 6 or more (16% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 9 ramp pieces (aim for 10)

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.
Casual
- Average mana value 3.63: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 12 cards that draw or dig
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less, and free spells: Xander's Pact
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Good
- 23 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}{B}: aim for about 30
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 21 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}: aim for about 26
- 37 lands, counting ramp ≈ 41 sources: enough for mana value 3.63
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?
Good
- 10 spells cost 6 or more (16% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 9 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 12 cards that draw or dig ✓
- 2 board wipes ✓
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 Anhelo, the Painter. A blue-black-red Commander deck built around sacrifice payoffs and graveyard recursion. 15 creatures, 37 lands, average mana value 3.63.
