Phantom Premonition
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 77 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 17 counts as 68 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 79 and Health 88, that is 77 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 17: why
- Average mana value 3.98: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 11 cards that draw or dig
Manabase 79: why
- 8 lands always enter tapped
- 36 lands, counting ramp ≈ 39.5 sources: short of the ≈41 a deck at mana value 3.98 wants
- 26 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
Health 88: why
- 12 spells cost 6 or more (19% of spells; aim under 10%)
- 11 ramp pieces ✓
- 11 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.

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 Ranar the Ever-Watchful. A white-blue Commander deck built around blink effects. 32 creatures, 36 lands, average mana value 3.98.
