Enduring Enchantments

Commander precon · Commander Masters · 2023 · led by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos

Main theme: enchantments · Synergy 4.4/5 (tight) · Bracket 1–2 · Anikthea, Hand of Erebos works with 54 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.

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

Its cards work together as before: synergy stays at 4.4 of 5, tight. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.6 → 4.9 of 5, still on target; no longer short on interaction. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
