Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER decks by bracket
These are the same rows for each bracket that holds at least 8 of these decks, by the bracket Moxfield lists for each one. The Brackets 1-2 and Bracket 3 columns hold 9 and 10 decks. Those are small counts, so their medians can sit a card or two away from what bigger counts would show.

|---|---|---|
| Lands | 36 (35-37) | 34 (32-36) |
| Ramp | 10 (10-11) | 12.5 (10-13) |

What bracket is a Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER deck?
Of the 27 Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER decks we counted, 18 (67%) need at least bracket 3, and 7 (26%) need at least bracket 4.
Each deck's lowest bracket here comes from Wizards' bracket rules, as EDHTuner's engine reads them from the deck's cards. The engine checks Game Changers, two-card infinite combos from Commander Spellbook, mass land denial and extra-turn cards.
| Lowest bracket | Decks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket 1 | 9 | 33% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 11 | 41% |
| Bracket 4 | 7 | 26% |
One deck can meet several of these rules, and its lowest bracket is the highest one any of them asks for.
| What the deck runs | Needs at least | Decks |
|---|---|---|
| More than three Game Changers | Bracket 4 | 6 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 2 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 8 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 9 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 2 |
The rules also weigh how early a combo can win and whether extra turns get chained. The cards alone do not show that, so a deck can belong in a higher bracket than the one shown here. On Moxfield, 1 of these decks has a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
