The decklist

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