Commander Spellbook lists 9 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)
  • Flooded Grove: AI can't play it
  • Freed from the Real: AI can't play it
  • Nesting Grounds: AI can't play it
  • Overflowing Basin: AI can't play it
  • Skycloud Expanse: AI can't play it
  • Sungrass Prairie: AI can't play it
