Land's Wrath

Commander precon · Zendikar Rising Commander · 2020 · led by Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

Main theme: Landfall · Synergy 4.1/5 (tight) · Bracket 1–2 · Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor works with 38 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.

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

Its cards work together a little more: synergy 4.1 → 4.4 of 5, still tight. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.5 → 4.9 of 5, still on target; no longer short on card advantage, no longer short on interaction. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
