Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 78 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 21 counts as 84 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 73 and Health 77, that is 78 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 21: why
- Average mana value 3.82: it acts late
- 19 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
Manabase 73: why
- 11 lands always enter tapped
- 21 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}{B}{B}: aim for about 30
- 18 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}: aim for about 26
Health 77: why
- Only 3 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 10 spells cost 6 or more (17% of spells; aim under 10%)
- 19 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 Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge. A blue-black-red Commander deck built around spellslinging. 22 creatures, 40 lands, average mana value 3.82.
