Why this bracket?

  • 1 listed two-card combo (Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector + Village Bell-Ringer (needs 2 mana from creatures; this deck can make 0)) needs more mana per loop than this list can produce, so it is not an infinite combo here and does not floor a bracket. Add mana rocks or dorks and this becomes a Bracket 3 combo.
  • Borderline verdict — close to B3: optimization score 32/75 sits in the B3 range, with no Game Changers and nothing that requires B3; it lacks the deliberate-upgrade signals (deep synergy engine, premium manabase, supported alternate win) that separate an upgraded build from a precon
  • High optimization — score 32/75 (12 interaction spells, 5 card-advantage sources, 1 combos) — raises this deck above its hard floor
  • Engine accuracy: 77.1% exact and 99.5% within one bracket on 1,229 organizer-labeled tournament decklists (engine v389).

How it compares

Against the 4 Tales of Middle-earth Commander decks we analyzed, this is 2nd strongest — power 4.9 versus a set average of 5.1. That is 0.3 above the 174-precon library average of 4.6. Its Tipping Point lands on turn 3, 1 turn earlier than the library median of turn 4.

Upgrade this precon

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Éowyn, Shieldmaiden's color identity, none over $20, and none of them a Game Changer, so none forces a Bracket 3 floor on its own. Adding cards can still move the bracket: paste the updated list back into the calculator to re-check.
