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.

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.
