Combos in the deck (2)

    2 versions, each with one of: Ashling's Command · Ashnod's Altar

Commander Spellbook lists 8 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

Adjusted for the Forge AI

The list above is the best tested version, the way you would play it in real games. The Forge AI can't play a few cards – they were replaced in the tournament (the deck builder also rearranges other slots within the budget). The win rate comes from games with these replacements; the original cards themselves were not tested by the AI.

In the list (original cards)
  • Greater Good: AI can't play it
  • Incandescent Soulstoke: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Ashling, Rekindled // Ashling, Rimebound: replacement
  • Eclipsed Flamekin: replacement
