Combos in the deck (4)

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”.

  • Rite of Replication + … → Near-infinite damage
    2 versions, each with one of: Terror of the Peaks · Scourge of Valkas
  • Old Gnawbone + Hellkite Charger → Infinite artifact ETB, Infinite artifact LTB, Infinite artifact sacrifice triggers
  • Astral Dragon + Cursed Mirror → Infinite copies of noncreature permanents you control, Infinite creature tokens with haste, Infinite creature ETB
  • Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm + Dracogenesis + Marang River Regent // Coil and Catch → Return all nonland permanents opponents control to their owner's hand, Infinite creature LTB, Infinite creature ETB

Commander Spellbook lists 5 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

  • Terror of the Peaks + Rite of Replication → Near-infinite damage
  • Scourge of Valkas + Rite of Replication → Near-infinite damage

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
  • Scourge of the Throne: swapped for a test
Played instead in the tournament
  • Draconic Muralists: test
  • Negate: 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.

4 more tested cards are still collecting games.
