Dance of the Elements

Commander precon · Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander · 2026 · led by Ashling, the Limitless

Main theme: Elemental tribal · Synergy 3.9/5 (connected) · Bracket 1–2 · Ashling, the Limitless works with 39 of its cards

Upgrades at bracket 1–2

No Game Changers and no infinite combos: the level of an unchanged precon. Game Changers are cards on WotC's official list of cards that make a deck much stronger.

6 swaps, and after them the report reads the deck at bracket 1–2.

Its cards work together a little less: synergy 3.9 → 3.8 of 5, still connected. Its consistency is unchanged: Build stays at 4.3 of 5, on target; still 5 short on interaction, 1 short on card advantage, was 2. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
