half and half is a 100-card Commander deck led by Lord Xander, the Collector in the Grixis color identity (blue/black/red). TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

The mainboard runs 28 creatures, 7 instants, 9 sorceries, 14 artifacts, 4 enchantments, and 38 lands, averaging 3.35 mana value across non-land cards. 60% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 21% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 4 game changers (e.g. Fierce Guardianship, Jeska's Will, and Opposition Agent) and 2 fast mana (An Offer You Can't Refuse and Dark Ritual). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized

4 early two-card combos: Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Fleet Swallower, Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Lord Xander, the Collector and 2 more

A two-card infinite combo cheap enough to assemble and win in the early game (data from Commander Spellbook). Bracket 3 decks are expected not to run these; any means Bracket 4.
