Most Wanted

Commander precon · Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander · 2024 · led by Olivia, Opulent Outlaw

Main theme: Treasure tokens · Synergy 2.7/5 (developing) · Bracket 1–2 · Olivia, Opulent Outlaw works with 9 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.

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

Its cards work together more: synergy 2.7 → 3.2 of 5, from developing to connected. It is a little more consistent: Build 4.7 → 5.0 of 5, still on target; no longer short on card advantage. That is what this page measures: how well the deck holds together, not how strong it is.
