What should you cut from the Wretched Ranks precon?
Wretched Ranks is the Ghoulcaller Gisa precon, released on October 2, 2026. We ran the stock deck through EDHTuner at bracket 2, the same check the tool runs on a deck you paste.
EDHTuner names no card to cut from this deck. EDHREC's data says other Ghoulcaller Gisa decks often play the cards that looked weakest, so it leaves them in.
The deck is short on ramp and targeted disruption. The tool suggests cards to add there. This page shows no adds.
How this deck works
Ghoulcaller Gisa leads a Zombie tribal deck that also leans on graveyard value and aristocrats. Its main plan to win is to drain the table. Its 100 cards include 39 lands, 9 ramp, 12 card advantage and 7 targeted disruption.
What bracket is it?
By Wizards' bracket rules, the Wretched Ranks precon is bracket 1 or higher. It runs no Game Changers, mass land denial, extra-turn cards or two-card infinite combos.
The rules also ask how fast a deck wins and what it's built to do, and that part is for you and your table. The bracket checker page says how EDHTuner reads each rule.
How its counts compare
Each row counts the cards that do that job. The medians come from 18,414 public Commander decks on Moxfield, collected in July and November 2026. Moxfield puts 4,822 of them at brackets 1 and 2 and 6,057 at bracket 3. The deck numbers page says what each row counts. See how many lands Commander decks run, from the decks we counted.
| Wretched Ranks | EDHTuner aims for | Median, brackets 1-2 | Median, bracket 3 | |

| Lands | 39 | Playtested in the tool | 36 | 35 |
| Ramp | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| Card advantage | 12 | 12 | 9 | 10 |
| Targeted disruption | 7 | 10 | 9 | 9 |
| Mass disruption | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| Protection | 0 | No set number | 2 | 3 |
Mass disruption: 1 covers a deck built on its own creatures.

Run it yourself
The tool opens in a new tab and runs the stock deck at bracket 2. There you also get the cards it would add.
The Ghoulcaller Gisa page shows what public Ghoulcaller Gisa decks on Moxfield run. The guide to cutting cards shows how EDHTuner picks cuts. The precons page has every other precon EDHTuner checked.
Checked on November 9, 2026 with EDHTuner v0.248.0. The tool reads EDHREC's data each time it runs, and that data changes, so it can name different cuts than this page does. The precon's cards come from MTGJSON (MIT license). Card data comes from Scryfall and play data from EDHREC.
