Counted on , from decks collected in July and November 2026.
We counted these 20 decks with the same code EDHTuner runs on your deck.
Compared with all decks, Heroes in a Half Shell decks run more lands (36.5 against 34) and more mass disruption (3 against 2).
The first number in each row is the median for these decks, and the range after it covers the middle half of them. The last column is the median across all 18,414 decks we counted.

Heroes in a Half Shell bracket 1 and 2 decks
These are the same rows for the 12 bracket 1 and 2 decks, by the bracket Moxfield lists for each one. No other bracket holds at least 8 of these decks, so the others count only in the numbers for all of these decks. The Brackets 1-2 column holds 12 decks. That small count can put its medians a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
| Brackets 1-2 | |
|---|---|
| Lands | 39 (38-39) |
| Ramp | 9 (9-10) |
| Card advantage | 9.5 (8-10) |

What Heroes in a Half Shell bracket 1 and 2 decks run
These are the nonland cards these 12 bracket 1 and 2 decks run most, with how many of them run each one. The last column counts the same cards in the other 8 Heroes in a Half Shell decks. With 12 decks this is a small count, so a few more decks could change the order.

What bracket is a Heroes in a Half Shell deck?
Of the 20 Heroes in a Half Shell decks we counted, 7 (35%) need at least bracket 3, and 3 (15%) 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 | 13 | 65% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 4 | 20% |
| Bracket 4 | 3 | 15% |
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 | 3 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 0 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 4 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 0 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 0 |
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, none of these decks has a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
