Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 86 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 20 counts as 80 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 84 and Health 97, that is 86 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 20: why
- Average mana value 3.66: it acts late
- No fast mana, not even Sol Ring
- 18 cards that draw or dig
Manabase 84: why
- 16 lands always enter tapped
- 39 lands, counting ramp ≈ 43.5 sources: enough for mana value 3.66
- 24 sources make white, and it has a card costing {W}{W}: aim for about 26
Health 97: why
- Only 7 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 19 ramp pieces ✓
- 18 cards that draw or dig ✓

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 3.66: it acts late
- No fast mana, not even Sol Ring
- 18 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 2 answers at mana value 2 or less
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Good
- 16 lands always enter tapped
- 39 lands, counting ramp ≈ 43.5 sources: enough for mana value 3.66
- 24 sources make white, and it has a card costing {W}{W}: aim for about 26
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?
Excellent
- Only 7 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 19 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 Jared Carthalion. A five-colour Commander deck built around ramp. 26 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 3.60.
