Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Green: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 84 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 24 counts as 96 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 81 and Health 74, that is 84 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 24: why
- Average mana value 3.84: it acts late
- 17 cards that draw or dig
- 1 tutor
Manabase 81: why
- 21 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
- 21 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}{R}: aim for about 30
- 6 lands always enter tapped
Health 74: why
- Only 4 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 11 spells cost 6 or more (18% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 7 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)

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

- 17 cards that draw or dig
- 1 tutor
- 3 answers at mana value 2 or less
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Good

- 21 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}{R}: aim for about 30
- 6 lands always enter tapped
- 39 lands, counting ramp ≈ 41 sources: enough for mana value 3.84
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?
Fair

- 11 spells cost 6 or more (18% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 7 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 17 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 Mizzix of the Izmagnus. A blue-red Commander deck built around spellslinging and counterspells. 15 creatures, 39 lands, average mana value 3.84.
