How many lands, ramp and draw do Rakdos, the Muscle decks run?
Rakdos, the Muscle decks run a median of 23.5 lands and 13.5 ramp cards, across 12 public decks on Moxfield.
Moxfield lists 3 of these 12 Rakdos, the Muscle decks as bracket 4. We need at least 8 decks to give a bracket its own column, so they count only in the numbers for all of these decks.
Counted on , from decks collected in July and November 2026.
We counted these 12 decks with the same code EDHTuner runs on your deck. That is a small count, so a median here can sit a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
Compared with all decks, Rakdos, the Muscle decks run fewer lands (23.5 against 34) and less card advantage (3.5 against 9).
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.

Rakdos, the Muscle cEDH decks
These are the same rows for the 8 cEDH 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 Bracket 5 (cEDH) column holds 8 decks. That small count can put its medians a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
| Bracket 5 (cEDH) | |
|---|---|
| Lands | 23 (21-25) |
| Ramp | 12.5 (11-15) |
| Card advantage | 3 (3-5) |
| Targeted disruption | 9.5 (7-12) |
| Mass disruption | 1 (1-1) |
| Protection | 1.5 (1-3) |
| Decks counted | 8 |
What Rakdos, the Muscle cEDH decks run
These are the nonland cards these 8 cEDH decks run most, with how many of them run each one. The last column counts the same cards in the other 4 Rakdos, the Muscle decks. With 8 decks this is a small count, so a few more decks could change the order.

What bracket is a Rakdos, the Muscle deck?
Of the 12 Rakdos, the Muscle decks we counted, 11 (92%) need at least bracket 3, and 10 (83%) 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 | 1 | 8% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 1 | 8% |
| Bracket 4 | 10 | 83% |
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 | 10 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 1 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 1 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 6 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 3 |
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.
