Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about analyzing decks, brackets, power levels, and getting the most out of EDHcheck. Tap a question to expand it.

Is EDHcheck free?

Yes. Analyzing your Magic: The Gathering Commander deck, checking its WotC bracket, scoring its power level, and detecting infinite combos are all completely free.

If EDHcheck has saved you a game-night argument or helped you tune a deck, you can support me with a beer. Totally optional, and hugely appreciated.

How do I analyze a deck, and which sites are supported?

Paste a Moxfield or Archidekt link, or a plain decklist, on the home page and EDHcheck reads every card and returns an instant analysis. The first legendary card (or the listed commanders) is treated as your commander.

How does EDHcheck score my deck and power level?

EDHcheck estimates power level and bracket from real signals — ramp and mana curve, card draw and tutor density, removal and interaction, fast mana, Game Changers, and combo access. Our scoring page explains exactly how each piece is weighed.

How we score →

What are the Commander brackets?

Brackets are WotC's 1–5 scale (Exhibition, Core, Upgraded, Optimized, cEDH) for setting pregame expectations. EDHcheck places your deck on that scale automatically. The scoring page breaks down what each bracket means.

Does EDHcheck detect infinite combos?

Yes. Every analyzed deck is scanned for two-card infinites and known game-ending combos using data from Commander Spellbook, and that combo access factors into your power level and bracket.

Are partner and background commanders supported?

Yes. EDHcheck detects a second commander (partner, background, or companion), lists both, blends their color identities, and shows partner decks with a split commander thumbnail.
