How it has actually done
These are results from Commander games recorded at a table, not a rating. See commander stats worth tracking and what mmr means in magic, which rates the deck rather than its pilot.
Combos in this deck
3 combos · 3 infinite. These come from Commander Spellbook, which only knows the ones somebody has written up, so this deck can hold more than these and never fewer.
INFINITE Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Ashnod's Altar
INFINITE Ashnod's Altar + Thran Vigil
INFINITE Ashnod's Altar + Uncivil Unrest
Bracket 4: Optimized
This is a floor, read off the cards in the list, so a deck can play higher than this and never lower. Read how the commander bracket system works, and bring it to your Rule 0 conversation.
Game Changers in this list
- 3 Game Changers — any at all puts a deck at Bracket 3 or above
- a two-card infinite combo (Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Ashnod's Altar) — more than Bracket 3 allows
What it's built out of
Measured against the Balanced Midrange blueprint. Counts overlap and sum past 100, because a card counts toward every job it does, which is how deck builders count. See the 100-card commander deck template.
