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.
Bracket 2: Core
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.
Running 4 stax pieces. See what stax means.
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.
