Time limit note: 29% of this deck's games hit the time limit without a winner even on the third try (all decks in this price class: 17%). Usually the Forge AI is stuck in a loop then, e.g. with lots of tokens. These games don't count – so the win rate is somewhat less meaningful.
AI note: the Forge AI can't play 9 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 6 more only partially well. This result is therefore much less meaningful – the deck probably plays stronger in human hands. Affected cards
At most €500 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.

Combos in the deck (2)
Detected from the decklist (Commander Spellbook): theoretically possible, see Spellbook for requirements. Whether a combo actually came together in games is shown above under “What the games show”.
- Valley Floodcaller + … → Infinite storm count, Infinite untap of some creatures you control, Infinite power and toughness for certain creatures until end of turn
4 versions, each with one of: Retraction Helix · Sol Ring · Banishing Knack - Demonic Consultation + Jace, Wielder of Mysteries → Exile your library, Win the game
Commander Spellbook lists 5 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.

What the program has learned
Each tournament the deck tests one card. A verdict needs at least 40 games with and without the card. Since the deck is rebuilt every tournament with current prices and data, tested cards can drop out again later.
- no clear difference Spore Frog instead of Sunshower Druid · win rate 5% with, 2% without (101 / 84 games) · from an earlier version, not in the deck now
13 more tested cards are still collecting games.
