Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 74 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 75 and Health 73, that is 74 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 3.73: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less
Manabase 75: why
- 15 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}: aim for about 26
- 9 lands always enter tapped
- 18 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}: aim for about 26
Health 73: why
- Only 1 board wipe (aim for 2)
- 11 spells cost 6 or more (17% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 5 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)

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 Teval, the Balanced Scale. A blue-black-green Commander deck built around milling and graveyard recursion. 37 creatures, 37 lands, average mana value 3.73.
