17Power
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 4.36: it acts late
- 14 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
- 4 answers at mana value 2 or less

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 Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait. A blue-green Commander deck built around ramp and counterspells. 31 creatures, 44 lands, average mana value 4.36.
