Bracket 3 — Upgraded

A floor, not a verdict. It is read off the cards in the list, and counting cards cannot see a two-card infinite combo — 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.

What it's built out of

Measured against the Balanced Midrange blueprint. These counts overlap and sum past 100 — a card counts toward every job it does, so Solemn Simulacrum is a creature and an artifact and ramp. That is how deck builders count; see the 100-card commander deck template.

The written read

An AI review of this specific list, generated by its owner. Bracket 2 — Core.

This deck wins by grinding massive card advantage from value engines (Rashmi, Tatyova, Courser, Kruphix) until it can deploy big, game-ending threats (Diluvian Primordial, Overrun, big creatures) and punch through with an Overrun-style finish or cast large value spells stolen via Diluvian; Kellan plays a supporting role as a low-cost commander that keeps applying pressure and incremental advantage while you assemble those pieces.

Typically closes around turn 11 in a four-player game. Typical wins come from outvaluing opponents and assembling a big finisher around turns 10–12; adding tutors or reliable card selection would move that earlier.

Its three strongest interactions

  • Rashmi, Eternities Crafter + Tatyova, Benthic Druid: Rashmi lets you cast or create card advantage when you play instants/sorceries while Tatyova converts land drops into card advantage and life, so together they generate continuous card draw and find finishers like Overrun or Diluvian Primordial.
  • Courser of Kruphix + Tatyova, Benthic Druid: Courser lets you see and play the top of your deck while Tatyova draws you when lands enter, so you repeatedly convert land-based plays into raw card advantage and life to outvalue opponents and set up a big finish.
  • Diluvian Primordial + opponent graveyards (exemplified by Wrangler of the Damned / Heralds of Tzeentch in your list): Diluvian lets you cast powerful spells from opponents' graveyards on entry, and cards like Wrangler of the Damned or Heralds can pressure opponents or provide targets to be re-used, turning yard resources into immediate board-swinging plays for tempo and card advantage.

Cards that would extend them

  • Brainstorm: extends the Rashmi + Tatyova synergy by letting you sculpt the top of your library to maximize Rashmi triggers and ensure Tatyova land triggers draw the most relevant cards.
  • Exploration: extends the Courser + Tatyova synergy by producing extra land plays per turn so you turn additional land drops into repeated card draw and life each turn.
  • Snapcaster Mage: extends the Diluvian Primordial synergy by giving you another way to reuse instants and sorceries from any graveyard, increasing the value you can extract from opponents' yards alongside Diluvian Primordial.
