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 23 counts as 92 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 81 and Health 78, 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 23: why
- Average mana value 3.80: it acts late
- 14 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
Manabase 81: why
- 19 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
- 8 lands always enter tapped
- 25 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
Health 78: why
- 12 spells cost 6 or more (20% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 9 ramp pieces (aim for 10)

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 3.80: it acts late
- 14 cards that draw or dig
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 1 answer at mana value 2 or less, and free spells: Cobra Trap
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring
Can it cast its spells on time, in its colours?
Good
- 19 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
- 8 lands always enter tapped
- 25 sources make green, and it has a card costing {G}{G}{G}: aim for about 30
- 41 lands, counting ramp ≈ 44 sources: enough for mana value 3.80
Does it have the parts every Commander deck needs: ramp, cards, answers, and a curve it can cast?
Fair
- 12 spells cost 6 or more (20% of spells; aim under 10%)
- Only 6 ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- Only 9 ramp pieces (aim for 10)
- 14 cards that draw or dig ✓
- 3 board wipes ✓
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 Ezuri, Claw of Progress. A blue-green Commander deck built around +1/+1 counters. 34 creatures, 41 lands, average mana value 3.80.
