Urza's Iron Alliance
Urza, Chief Artificer · BRC 2022 · 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.

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.
- 110 Death Toll £48.24
- 111 Avengers Assemble £47.52
- 112 Ahoy Mateys £47.48
- 113 Urza's Iron Alliance £47.25
- 114 Eternal Bargain £46.75

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.

- 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.
