Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 67 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 14 counts as 56 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 82 and Health 68, that is 67 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 14: why
- Average mana value 4.00: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
Manabase 82: why
- 21 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 41 sources: enough for mana value 4.00
Health 68: why
- 12 spells cost 6 or more (19% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 7 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- Only 7 cards that draw or dig (aim for 10)

14Power
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 4.00: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
- 7 cards that draw or dig
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
82Manabase
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Good
- 21 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 41 sources: enough for mana value 4.00
- 22 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}: aim for about 26
68Health
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?
Fair
- 12 spells cost 6 or more (19% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 7 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- Only 7 cards that draw or dig (aim for 10)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 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 Meren of Clan Nel Toth. A black-green Commander deck built around sacrifice payoffs and graveyard recursion. 38 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 4.00.
