Rate My Deck: An AI Bracket Estimate for Your Commander Deck

Rate My Deck reads your decklist and tells you where it sits on the bracket scale and what would make it better, separate from the power ranking TurnZero HQ builds from your actual game results.

The AI deck rating on a deck's page, reading Bracket 3 of 5, Upgraded, above a written description of what the deck is trying to do.

The problem it solves

"What bracket is this deck?" comes up often when a new list is about to hit the table, because power level talk is how playgroups decide what kind of game they're signing up for. Eyeballing a 100-card list and guessing is unreliable, and it's easy to miss a single card that pushes a deck's power well past what the rest of it looks like.

How it works

1

Open the detail view for a deck you've loaded into TurnZero HQ, whether you built it with the card scanner or read it in from Archidekt, Moxfield, or Manabox.

2

Tap Rate My Deck.

3

TurnZero HQ's AI reads the decklist (cards, curve, combo pieces) and returns a bracket estimate on the official 1-5 scale.

4

Alongside the estimate, you get specific, card-by-card suggestions for where the list could tighten up.

Build-time vs. play-time

TurnZero HQ deliberately has two different numbers that can both get called a "deck rating," and they answer different questions. Rate My Deck is a build-time estimate. It reads the decklist's cards, curve, and combo density and returns where that adds up to on the bracket scale, before you've played a single game. Your deck's separate power ranking is a play-time measure, earned strictly from that deck's actual win/loss record at your table over time.

✓

Rate My Deck reads the list. It answers "what should this deck be capable of, on paper?"

✓

Power ranking reads the results. It answers "what has this deck actually done at the table?"

A deck can look strong on paper and underperform in games, or the reverse, so it helps to have both numbers instead of picking one.

Who this is for

✓

Anyone who wants a bracket estimate on a brand-new deck before it's ever hit the table

✓

Players tuning a list who want specific cut suggestions along with the number

✓

Playgroups trying to agree on power level before pods get built

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rate My Deck?

An AI feature in TurnZero HQ that reads a decklist directly and returns a bracket estimate on Wizards of the Coast's official 1-5 scale, along with specific suggestions for tightening the list up. It estimates what a deck should be capable of from its contents, before you play a game with it.

Is Rate My Deck the same as my deck's power ranking?

No, and TurnZero HQ deliberately has both. Rate My Deck is a build-time estimate that reads the decklist itself. Your deck's power ranking (also 1-5) is a play-time measure, earned entirely from that deck's actual win/loss record at your table over time. A deck can score well on paper and still underperform in games, or the reverse, so both numbers are useful.

Which bracket scale does Rate My Deck use?

Wizards of the Coast's official Commander bracket system: Exhibition, Core, Upgraded, Optimized, and cEDH, numbered 1 through 5. It's the same shared vocabulary the wider Commander community uses, not a proprietary TurnZero HQ scale.

Do I need to have played games with a deck for Rate My Deck to work?

No. Rate My Deck only needs the decklist itself, so it works the moment a deck is loaded into TurnZero HQ, before you've played a single game with it. The separate power ranking is the one that needs game history.
