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 3
Tutors 1
Fast mana 0 Sol Ring is excluded because it's in precons.
Extra turns 0

Running 2 stax pieces. See what stax means.

  • 3 Game Changers — any at all puts a deck at Bracket 3 or above
  • a two-card infinite combo (Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Peer into the Abyss) — 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.

The decklist

100 cards, grouped by the main job each one does. Every name links to its own page, with its 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.
