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”.

  • Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm + Bladewing the Risen + Terror of the Peaks → Infinite creature LTB, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite death triggers

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)
  • Assassin's Trophy: swapped for a test
  • Crucible of the Spirit Dragon: AI can't play it
Played instead in the tournament
  • Arcane Sanctum: replacement
  • Counterspell: test

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.

4 more tested cards are still collecting games.
