How many lands, ramp and draw do Zethi, Arcane Blademaster decks run?
Zethi, Arcane Blademaster decks run a median of 33 lands and 10 ramp cards, across 11 public decks on Moxfield.
Moxfield lists 6 of these 11 Zethi, Arcane Blademaster 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 11 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, Zethi, Arcane Blademaster decks run more protection (6 against 2) and more targeted disruption (13 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.
| This commander | All decks | |
|---|---|---|
| Lands | 33 (30-35) | 34 |

| Mass disruption | 2 (1-3) | 2 |
| Protection | 6 (1-8) | 2 |
| Decks counted | 11 | 18,414 |
Moxfield lists these decks as bracket 2 (2 decks), bracket 3 (1), bracket 4 (6) and bracket 5 (2).
What bracket is a Zethi, Arcane Blademaster deck?
Of the 11 Zethi, Arcane Blademaster decks we counted, 9 (82%) need at least bracket 3, and 8 (73%) 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 | 2 | 18% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 1 | 9% |
| Bracket 4 | 8 | 73% |
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 | 8 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 1 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 1 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 3 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 5 |
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.
