How many lands, ramp and draw do Commander decks run?

Popular Commander decks on Moxfield run a median of 36 lands at brackets 1 and 2, 35 at bracket 3, 33 at bracket 4 and 28 in cEDH.

Counted on , from decks collected in July and November 2026.

We counted 18,414 popular public Commander decks on Moxfield, most of them among its most-viewed, using the same code EDHTuner runs on your deck. Each one is counted under the bracket Moxfield lists for it. The 62 decks with no bracket listed count only in the All decks column.

Each cell shows the median first. The range after it covers the middle half of decks, so a quarter of decks run less than the range and a quarter run more.

How many lands do bracket 4 decks run?

Bracket 4 decks run a median of 33 lands, and the middle half of them run 30 to 35. Lands are cards whose front face is a land. A spell with a land on its back face counts as a spell, and counting those backs as lands puts the bracket 4 median at 34.

How many lands do cEDH decks run?

cEDH decks, the ones at bracket 5, run a median of 28 lands, and the middle half of them run 26 to 29. Their nonland cards cost less too, at an average mana value of 2.10 for the median cEDH deck.

How much ramp do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs 11 ramp cards, and the median cEDH deck runs 12. Ramp is anything that makes extra mana or puts extra lands into play, like Sol Ring, mana creatures and land searches. Cost reducers count too when the deck has spells they discount.

How much card draw do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs 9 card advantage cards, and the median cEDH deck runs 8. Card advantage is a card that leaves you with more cards than it cost, like Harmonize. Cards that only replace themselves are left out, and so are looting and draw you have to use the same turn.

How much removal do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs 9 targeted disruption cards, and the median cEDH deck runs 12. Targeted disruption is removal, counterspells and other answers aimed at one thing, like Swords to Plowshares.

How many board wipes do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs 2 mass disruption cards, and the median cEDH deck runs 1. Mass disruption covers board wipes like Wrath of God and other cards that hit many permanents at once.

How much protection do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs 2 protection cards, and so does the median cEDH deck. Protection is cards that keep your commander or your board alive, like Lightning Greaves.

How many Game Changers do Commander decks run?

The median deck runs none at brackets 1 and 2, 2 at bracket 3, 6 at bracket 4 and 13 in cEDH. Moxfield lists any deck with a Game Changer as bracket 3 or higher, and any deck with more than three as bracket 4 or higher, by its own count of them. So the bracket a deck sits in here already depends on its Game Changers. Game Changers are the cards Wizards marks as outsized for the bracket system. We count them by our card data from October 23, 2026, and a deck's commander counts too.

What is the average mana value of a Commander deck?

The median deck's nonland cards average 3.18 mana value at brackets 1 and 2, 3.14 at bracket 3, 2.80 at bracket 4 and 2.10 in cEDH. Each copy of a card counts, and the commander is left out.

How to read them

These numbers describe what popular decks run. A deck with a clear plan can run less of something on purpose. A deck that wins in combat may skip board wipes, and a landfall deck often runs more lands than the median.

The decks are the most-viewed on Moxfield, so they lean toward tuned, popular builds more than the average kitchen-table deck does.
