Official Commander precon “Avengers Assemble” – played exactly as sold in stores, without a single change. It plays in every tournament and price class as a benchmark, so it is not ranked. Why do precons play?

Strengths and weaknesses

From 80 analysed games in 8 tournaments (tournament lists as played by Forge). Games that hit the time limit don't count, just like in the rankings. Values in brackets: average of all decks in the same price class.

Play style: wins through combat – 99% of the damage to opponents is combat damage · How it wins: 33% of wins by surviving (knocked out at most one opponent itself, the others took each other out) – all-deck avg: 31%

Strengths

  • Applies a lot of pressure: avg 41 damage to opponents per game (all-deck avg: 31) logged (80 games)
  • Uses its mana well: only 17% of lands went unused in a turn (all-deck avg: 26%) – the deck almost always has something to play logged (measured on own turns 3–8, 80 games)
  • Clears the table: eliminates 0.79 opponents per game on average (all-deck avg: 0.63) logged (80 games)

Weaknesses

  • Slow to win: wins on average only on its 13th own turn (all-deck avg: 12th) trend – not yet certain (24 wins)
