Silverquill Statement
Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 76 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 19 counts as 76 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 85 and Health 67, that is 76 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 19: why
- Average mana value 3.87: it acts late
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
- 10 cards that draw or dig
Manabase 85: why
- 23 sources make black, and it has a card costing {B}{B}{B}: aim for about 30
- 7 lands always enter tapped
- 40 lands, counting ramp ≈ 43 sources: enough for mana value 3.87
Health 67: why
- Only 2 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 6 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 9 spells cost 6 or more (15% of spells; aim under 10%)

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 Breena, the Demagogue. A white-black Commander deck built around +1/+1 counters. 27 creatures, 40 lands, average mana value 3.87.
