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.
Combos in this deck
2 combos · 2 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 Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, Parun
INFINITE Magmakin Artillerist + Curiosity
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.
- a two-card infinite combo (Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, Parun) — 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.
