AI note: the Forge AI can't play 11 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 4 more only partially well. This result is therefore much less meaningful – the deck probably plays stronger in human hands. Affected cards

Built on request and optimized in Forge for about 3 hours against the strongest decks, so this win rate is not comparable with the rankings. How a requested deck is made

At most €300 including the commander. If prices rise above that, single cards are automatically swapped for cheaper ones with the same role.

Adjusted for rising prices, last on Oct 19, 2026: Daze → Snapback, Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty → Paradise Mantle.

Strengths (According to the decklist, not from games)

  • Lots of card draw (22 cards, target 16)
  • Lots of removal (16 cards, target 12)
  • 5 complete combos as a win condition

Weaknesses (According to the decklist, not from games)

  • Likely underrated in testing: the Forge AI can't play 15 cards or plays them poorly
  • Only 14 games: win rate still uncertain
