Mahadi the Hottie

How it has actually done

Not a rating — results from Commander games recorded at a table. See commander stats worth tracking.

MMR is a skill rating for the deck, not for its pilot — what mmr means in magic.

Bracket 2 — Core

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 Aristocrats 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.

6 slots are outside their band, 3 inside.

The written read

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

Mahadi is the hub for a death-to-treasure / artifact-value strategy in this build: the 99 supplies lots of creatures that generate value when they die (Pitiless Plunderer, recurring bodies, token makers) along with multiple sacrifice outlets and graveyard recursion pieces (Victimize, Reanimate, Living Death, Ghoulcaller Gisa). The commander lets those recurring death events and artifact/treasure sources translate into ongoing resource advantage, which the deck then converts into game-ending actions — either by generating a huge pool of treasure/black mana (feeding Black Market, Treasure Vault and large X spells) or by repeatedly reanimating and routing damage through damage-on-entry/exit sources (Warstorm Surge, Pyrohemia, Goldspan Dragon and artifact damage engines). In short, Mahadi turns each creature death and artifact/treasure trigger into fuel for big turns that close the game with burst damage or an overwhelming mana lead to cast multiple finishers.

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