Question 1

How does the Commander deck analyzer work?

Accepted Answer

Paste a public Moxfield, Archidekt, or MTGGoldfish URL. The tool fetches the decklist via the site's API, enriches each card with Scryfall data, and computes 7 weighted factors: fast mana (×3), tutors (×2), average mana value, interaction (×1.5), combo density (×5), extra turns/stax (×2), and card draw (×1). Results include power score (1-10), bracket (1-5), mana curve, ramp, draw, removal, tutors, combos, and heuristic strengths/weaknesses.

Question 2

What deck sources are supported?

Accepted Answer

Moxfield, Archidekt, and MTGGoldfish public deck URLs are supported. You can also paste a plain text deck list (one card per line, with optional quantity prefix like '1 Sol Ring').

Question 3

Is Rate My Decks free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Rate My Decks is completely free. No account or sign-up required. Paste a deck URL and get instant analysis with power score, bracket, stats, and recommendations.

Question 4

What is the Commander bracket system?

Accepted Answer

Brackets 1-4 represent casual Commander power levels, while Bracket 5 is cEDH (competitive). The bracket is determined by Game Changers, fast mana, tutors, and combo density in your deck. Our analyzer automatically calculates your bracket from your card list.

Question 5

What are Game Changers in Commander?

Accepted Answer

Game Changers are a curated list of powerful cards identified by Wizards of the Coast that significantly impact deck power level. Cards like Rhystic Study, Cyclonic Rift, Demonic Tutor, and Fierce Guardianship are on the list. Having more Game Changers pushes your bracket higher.

Question 6

How is the power score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The power score (1-10) is calculated from 7 weighted factors: fast mana (×3), tutors (×2), average mana value, interaction (×1.5), combo density (×5), extra turns/stax (×2), and card draw (×1). The raw score is normalized to a 1-10 scale.

Question 7

Can I compare two Commander decks?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use the Deck Clash tool to compare up to 4 Commander decks head-to-head. See side-by-side power scores, brackets, mana curves, and all metrics to determine which deck is stronger.

Question 8

Does the analyzer support formats other than Commander?

Accepted Answer

No, Rate My Decks is specifically designed for the Commander / EDH format only. The scoring factors, bracket system, and recommendations are all tailored to Commander gameplay.
