Time limit note: 15% of this deck's games hit the time limit without a winner even on the third try (all decks in this price class: 6%). Usually the Forge AI is stuck in a loop then, e.g. with lots of tokens. These games don't count – so the win rate is somewhat less meaningful.

AI note: the Forge AI can't play 5 cards of this deck (replaced with similar cards in the Forge games) and plays 13 more only partially well. This result is therefore somewhat less meaningful. Affected cards

At most €100 including the commander. If prices rise above that, the shopping list is rebuilt automatically.

The shopping list was rebuilt with current prices on Oct 26, 2026: the tested version had risen to €100.83, above €100.00. Win rate and placement come from the tested version.
