AI note: the Forge AI can't play 4 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 8 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 (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”.

  • Demonic Consultation + Thassa's Oracle → Win the game, Exile your library
    Example – 6 versions with these cards: Demonic Consultation · Hermit Druid · Thassa's Oracle · Laboratory Maniac · Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
  • Muldrotha, the Gravetide + Kaya's Ghostform + Altar of Dementia + Lotus Petal → 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)
  • Altar of Dementia: AI can't play it
  • Command Beacon: AI can't play it
  • Demonic Consultation: AI can't play it
  • Perpetual Timepiece: AI can't play it
  • Tatyova, Benthic Druid: adjusted to make room for another 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.

5 more tested cards are still collecting games.
