AI note: the Forge AI can't play 7 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 3 more only partially well. This result is therefore somewhat less meaningful. Affected cards

At most €100 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.

The shopping list was rebuilt with current prices on Oct 25, 2026: the tested version had risen to €100.82, above €100.00. Win rate and placement come from the tested version.

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”.

  • Sharuum the Hegemon + … → Infinite death triggers, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite creature LTB
    3 versions, each with one of: Phyrexian Metamorph · Hashaton, Scarab's Fist · Vizier of Many Faces
  • Hashaton, Scarab's Fist + Tortured Existence + Peregrine Drake → Infinite creature ETB, Infinite self-discard triggers, Infinite tapped creature tokens

Commander Spellbook lists 4 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.
