How to read the comparisons

These are original stock decklists. Playable counts include commanders. Mana curves, mana averages and card-type counts use Main Deck cards only. A card with multiple types counts in each applicable category.

Shared cards are matched by card identity and quantity, regardless of printing. Theme tags are discovery hints based on commander abilities, rather than power or beginner ratings. TCGplayer singles estimates use the listed printing, finish and quantity, including commanders. Values are USD snapshots refreshed monthly, rather than sealed deck prices. Missing quotes are excluded from priced subtotals. Price filters use complete totals only. Shipping and taxes are excluded; underlying quote age is unknown.
