Official Commander precon “Doom Prevails” – 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 – 90% of the damage to opponents is combat damage · How it wins: 67% of wins by surviving (knocked out at most one opponent itself, the others took each other out) – all-deck avg: 31%

Strengths

  • Rarely out first: eliminated first in only 14% of games (all-deck avg: 25%) logged (11 of 80 games)
  • Resilient: even in losses it lasts until its 11th own turn on average (all-deck avg: 10th) logged (59 losses)
  • Uses its mana well: only 20% 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)

Weaknesses

  • Attacks often get blocked: 27% of attackers blocked (all-deck avg: 19%) logged (803 attackers in 80 games)

Cards with a measurable effect

A correlation, not proof: these cards were cast clearly more often in wins.

What the games show

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. “logged”: recorded in the game log. “indication”: recurring pattern, but no proof of cause and effect.

Forge AI note: This deck wins remarkably often by surviving. The Forge AI rarely attacks players with a high life total and hardly removes win-the-game cards – at a real table, where people go after it earlier, it is probably weaker than measured here. Details
