Teval, the Balanced Scale bracket 3 decks
These are the same rows for the 15 bracket 3 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 3 column holds 15 decks. That small count can put its medians a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.

What bracket is a Teval, the Balanced Scale deck?
Of the 27 Teval, the Balanced Scale decks we counted, 22 (81%) need at least bracket 3, and 4 (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 | 5 | 19% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 18 | 67% |
| Bracket 4 | 4 | 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 | 4 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 0 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 16 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 16 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 1 |
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, 2 of these decks have a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
