Category Commander

Replace vague Commander power ratings with a quick pregame conversation about deck speed, fast mana, tutors, combos, interaction, win intent, and proxies.

Most Commander decks need a mixture of immediate refills, repeatable engines, and situational forms of card advantage. Use this role-based framework to choose the right number for your deck.

Start with eight to ten interaction cards, then adjust for table speed, threat coverage, color identity, and your commander’s plan.
