Scrappy Survivors
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 89 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 36 counts as 100 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 88 and Health 78, that is 89 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 36: why
- 16 cards that draw or dig
- Average mana value 2.82: it acts early
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
Manabase 88: why
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 40.5 sources: enough for mana value 2.82
- 22 sources make white, and it has a card costing {W}{W}: aim for about 26
Health 78: why
- Only 3 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 7 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 16 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 Dogmeat, Ever Loyal. A white-red-green Commander deck built around equipment and token swarms, on a Human kindred base. 19 creatures, 38 lands, average mana value 2.82.
