Growing Threat
Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos · MOC 2023 · official decklist · 100 cards
See all 178 Commander precons ranked by most original →
What originality means here
Every card scores 0 to 1: one minus how close its nearest match anywhere in Magic gets, so 0.30 means something out there is 70% like it. A deck's figure is the average across its most original half of nonland cards, so it climbs by holding cards with less competition, never by holding more cards.
- 120 Devour for Power 0.160
- 121 Hatsune Miku 0.159
- 122 Arm for Battle 0.159
- 123 Growing Threat 0.158

What salt means here
EDHREC's annual survey asks players which cards they least enjoy facing, scoring each 0 to about 3: Stasis is 3.06, Rhystic Study 2.73, Mind Stone a flat 0. A deck's figure is those scores added up, so it gets there either through a few famous offenders or a long tail of mildly irritating ones. The one number here that is an opinion rather than a measurement.

What of cards means here
The cheapest paper printing of every card, added together: what the hundred cards cost to own as singles, not what the sealed box sells for. That is why one reserved list card can put a deck above four decks of staples. Basic lands count toward the total but are left out of the card list below, since thirty Islands are not what anyone means by a deck's cheapest cards.
- 133 Quantum Quandrix $54.73
- 134 Swell the Host $53.35
- 135 Desert Bloom $53.10
- 136 Growing Threat $52.72

What median play rate means here
EDHREC ranks every card by how many Commander decks run it, #1 being the most played in the format. A deck's figure is the median rank across its nonland cards, so #1200 means half this deck sits inside the format's twelve hundred most played cards. A smaller number is the deck built out of staples.

What a card on average means here
How long ago each card was first printed, averaged across the deck. A reprint does not make an old card new, so a deck published last year and stuffed with reprints still reads old. The total underneath is every card's age added together; the ranking uses the average, because a sum quietly rewards the bigger deck for being bigger.

- Play rate
- EDHREC's rank for how often the card is played in Commander, where #1 is the most played card in the format.
- Salt
- Out of about 3, from EDHREC's salt survey, where players vote on the cards they least enjoy facing.
- Card age
- How long ago the card was first printed, counted from its earliest printing, so a reprint does not make an old card new.
