What it's built out of

Measured against the Balanced Midrange blueprint. Counts overlap and sum past 100 — a card counts toward every job it does, which is how deck builders count; see the 100-card commander deck template.

The decklist

100 cards, grouped by the main job each one does. Every name links to its own page — win rate, the commanders it's most played under, and the colors it turns up in.

Building it in paper? TCGplayer's Mass Entry takes all 100 cards at once at the cheapest available printing of each. The bench isn't included.
