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”.

  • Najeela, the Blade-Blossom + … → Infinite creature tokens with haste, Infinite combat phases, Infinite colored mana
    6 versions, each with one of: Faeburrow Elder · Helm of the Host · Derevi, Empyrial Tactician · Esika, God of the Tree // The Prismatic Bridge · Selvala, Heart of the Wilds · Bloom Tender
  • Ratadrabik of Urborg + Boromir, Warden of the Tower → Infinite death triggers, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite creature LTB

Commander Spellbook lists 7 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)
  • Aragorn, the Uniter: adjusted to make room for another replacement
  • Beast Within: AI can't play it
  • Venat, Heart of Hydaelyn // Hydaelyn, the Mothercrystal: swapped for a test
Played instead in the tournament
  • Anguished Unmaking: test
  • Chulane, Teller of Tales: replacement
  • Kodama's Reach: replacement

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 swap has enough games for a verdict yet.

3 more tested cards are still collecting games.
