Commander Bracket Checker

Check your Commander deck's bracket in seconds. Free, no signup: paste a decklist or drop a Moxfield, Archidekt, ManaBox, DeckCheck, CommanderSalt, EDHREC, or SlingLab playtest link, and get your deck's WotC bracket (1-5) with the reasons behind it.

Links from Moxfield, Archidekt, ManaBox, DeckCheck, CommanderSalt, EDHREC and SlingLab fetch on paste. Any decklist works too (Arena, MTGO, plain text).

What you get

  • Your bracket, 1-5, per the official WotC bracket definitions - from Exhibition to cEDH.
  • The reasons, not just a number: estimated win turn, Game Changers, tutors, mass land denial, extra turns, and detected combos with their setup requirements (a combo that needs a full board is not treated like a turn-one win).
  • Table-talk help: when a deck's contents place it above how fast it actually plays, the checker says so - the thing worth mentioning when your pod talks power level.

How the rating works

The checker does not count cards against a checklist. It models how fast your deck threatens to win, enforces the official bracket restrictions as hard floors, and explains every rating. Accuracy is measured against 3,585 real community-labeled decks (96.6% within one bracket, as of 2026-08-03) and published in full on the accuracy page. New to the bracket system? The Commander brackets guide explains all five brackets, Game Changers, and the contents floors.

Frequently asked questions

What are Commander brackets?

Brackets are WotC's official five-tier power level system for Commander: 1 (Exhibition), 2 (Core), 3 (Upgraded), 4 (Optimized), and 5 (cEDH). Each bracket carries expectations about a deck's contents - things like Game Changer cards, two-card infinite combos, mass land denial, and chained extra turns - and about how fast the deck tries to win.

How do I find out what bracket my deck is?

Paste your decklist into the checker above, or drop a Moxfield, Archidekt, ManaBox, DeckCheck, CommanderSalt, EDHREC, or SlingLab playtest link. You get the bracket in seconds, along with the reasons: estimated win turn, Game Changers found, tutors, detected combos and their setup requirements, and any contents that set a minimum bracket under the official rules.

Is the checker free? Do I need an account?

Yes, it is free, and no account is needed. Paste a deck and check it. Saving decks to a library is optional and also free.

Can I check a Moxfield or Archidekt deck by URL?

Yes. Paste a Moxfield, Archidekt, ManaBox, DeckCheck, CommanderSalt, or EDHREC deck link, or a SlingLab playtest link, and the checker fetches the list for you - no manual export needed.

How accurate is the bracket rating?

We measure and publish accuracy: 96.6% of ratings land within one bracket of the community's label across 3,585 real labeled decks, with the full breakdown - including where we miss - on the accuracy page.

What makes a deck Bracket 3 instead of Bracket 2?

Bracket 2 decks avoid Game Changers, two-card infinite combos, mass land denial, and chained extra turns. A deck with up to three Game Changers or a two-card infinite combo belongs at Bracket 3 or higher under the official rules. Speed matters too: two decks with similar cards can land in different brackets because one threatens to win earlier.
