How it compares

Against the 5 Tarkir: Dragonstorm Commander decks we analyzed, this is the weakest — power 3.7 versus a set average of 4.6. That is 1.0 below the 58-precon library average of 4.7. Its Tipping Point lands on turn 4, the same as the library median.

Upgrade this precon

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Teval, the Balanced Scale's colour identity, none over $20, and none of them a Game Changer, so none forces a Bracket 3 floor on its own. Adding cards can still move the bracket: paste the updated list back into the calculator to re-check.
