Commander Bracket Checker

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

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 2,867 real community-labeled decks (95.7% within one bracket) and published in full on the accuracy page.

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, or Manabox deck 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, or Manabox deck link and the checker fetches the list for you - no manual export needed.

How accurate is the bracket rating?

We measure and publish accuracy: 95.7% of ratings land within one bracket of the community's label across 2,867 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.
