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 40 analysed games in 4 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 – 91% of the damage to opponents is combat damage

Strengths

  • Uses its mana well: only 20% of lands went unused in a turn (all-deck avg: 25%) – the deck almost always has something to play logged (measured on own turns 3–8, 40 games)

Weaknesses

  • Rarely eliminates opponents: 0.30 per game on average (all-deck avg: 0.62) logged (40 games)
