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 €200 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 €202.48, above €200.00. Win rate and placement come from the tested version.
