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
4 combos · 4 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 Basalt Monolith + Forensic Gadgeteer
INFINITE Thopter Foundry + Time Sieve + Sword of the Meek
INFINITE Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Ashnod's Altar

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
Running 3 stax pieces. See what stax means.
- 1 Game Changer — any at all puts a deck at Bracket 3 or above
- a two-card infinite combo (Basalt Monolith + Forensic Gadgeteer) — 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.
