Combos in the deck (3)

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”.

  • Terra, Magical Adept // Esper Terra + … → Infinite creature LTB, Infinite creature ETB, Infinite colored mana
    2 versions, each with one of: Estrid's Invocation · Yenna, Redtooth Regent
  • There and Back Again + Clockspinning → Infinite artifact ETB, Infinite artifact LTB, Infinite artifact sacrifice triggers
  • The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk + Barbara Wright + Brago, King Eternal → Infinite turns, Lock

Commander Spellbook lists 4 entries because every version counts separately (for example with a different sacrifice outlet). Here each combo counts once.

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 clear difference Clash of the Eikons instead of Summon: Valefor · win rate 22% with, 28% without (179 / 75 games) · from an earlier version, not in the deck now
