How it has actually done
Not a rating — results from Commander games recorded at a table. See commander stats worth tracking and what mmr means in magic, which rates the deck rather than its pilot.
Combos in this deck
4 combos · 4 infinite — looked up in Commander Spellbook, which only knows the ones somebody has written up, so this deck can hold more than these and never fewer.
INFINITE Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood
INFINITE Aetherflux Reservoir + Exquisite Blood
INFINITE Luminous Broodmoth + Ashnod's Altar
Show the other 1 combo
INFINITE Peer into the Abyss + Bloodletter of Aclazotz
Bracket 4 — Optimized
A floor, not a verdict — 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 in this list
Running 2 stax pieces — what stax means.
- 3 Game Changers — any at all puts a deck at Bracket 3 or above
- a two-card infinite combo (Sanguine Bond + Exquisite Blood) — more than Bracket 3 allows
What it's built out of

The decklist
102 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 102 cards at once at the cheapest available printing of each. The bench isn't included.
