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 €300 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.

Combos in the deck (3)

Commander Spellbook lists 12 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)
  • Beast Within: AI can't play it
  • Dakmor Salvage: AI can't play it
  • God-Eternal Bontu: AI can't play it
  • Nissa, Resurgent Animist: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Rakdos Charm: AI can't play it
  • Scapeshift: AI can't play it
  • Sylvan Safekeeper: AI can't play it
  • Twilight Mire: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Assassin's Trophy: replacement
  • Bloodstained Mire: replacement
  • Conduit of Worlds: replacement
  • Dryad of the Ilysian Grove: replacement
  • Eumidian Wastewaker: replacement
  • Famished Worldsire: replacement
  • Windgrace's Judgment: replacement
  • Wooded Foothills: replacement
