Upgrades at bracket 3

Up to three Game Changers, and no two-card infinite combo that costs 6 or less.

11 swaps, and after them the report reads the deck at bracket 3.

Its cards work together a little more: synergy 3.8 → 4.1 of 5, from connected to tight. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.6 → 4.8 of 5, still on target; 2 short on interaction, was 4. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.

Lands

  1. Take out Azorius Chancery: Azorius Chancery enters tapped. Put in Hallowed Fountain: Hallowed Fountain never enters tapped and makes white or blue.
  2. Take out Port Town: Port Town enters tapped. Put in Sea of Clouds: Sea of Clouds never enters tapped and makes white or blue.

Interaction

  1. Take out Filigree Racer: Filigree Racer is next on the report's cut list. Works with 7 other cards: with 5 again and again, with 2 just once or in the background. Put in Escaped Experiment: Interaction: you were 4 short; Escaped Experiment counts as interaction. While you control Salvation Colossus, Escaped Experiment counts it and does more.
  2. Take out Silverquill Lecturer: Silverquill Lecturer is next on the report's cut list. Works with 7 other cards: with 5 again and again, with 2 just once or in the background. Put in Prowl, Stoic Strategist // Prowl, Pursuit Vehicle: Interaction: you were 4 short; Prowl, Stoic Strategist // Prowl, Pursuit Vehicle counts as interaction.

Cards that work together

  1. Take out Confiscation Coup: Confiscation Coup works with 4 cards in this deck, all of them on its theme. Put in Haliya, Guided by Light: When Salvation Colossus enters, Haliya, Guided by Light gains you 1 life

Upgrades at bracket 4–5

No limits on Game Changers or combos.

11 swaps, and after them the report reads the deck at bracket 3. These are the same swaps as at bracket 3: none of the stronger cards bracket 4–5 allows does any of these jobs strictly better, so aiming higher changes nothing for this deck.

Its cards work together a little more: synergy 3.8 → 4.1 of 5, from connected to tight. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.6 → 4.8 of 5, still on target; 2 short on interaction, was 4. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.

No swaps bring this deck to bracket 1–2: what keeps it above is its commander, or a combo made with its commander.

Opens a route: The Prydwen, Steel Flagship. 19 of its cards reach Aetherstorm Roc through it.

Also short, against a typical Commander deck: interaction 8 of 12.
