AI note: the Forge AI can't play 6 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 4 more only partially well. This result is therefore somewhat less meaningful. Affected cards

Combos in the deck (1)

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”.

  • Wizard Class + … → Infinite card draw, Infinite draw triggers, Near-infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature
    2 versions, each with one of: Fathom Mage · Pensive Professor

Commander Spellbook lists 2 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

Show all 2 entries
  • Fathom Mage + Wizard Class → Infinite card draw, Infinite draw triggers, Near-infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature
  • Pensive Professor + Wizard Class → Infinite card draw, Infinite draw triggers, Near-infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature

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.

  • Jolrael, Mwonvuli Recluse: AI can't play it
  • Psychosis Crawler: AI can't play it
