CommanderVALIDPUBLICB4100cards(+5 tokens)bybaghdadchad

Run of the Mill is a 100-card Commander deck led by Bruvac the Grandiloquent in the mono-blue color identity. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

The mainboard runs 8 creatures, 18 instants, 14 sorceries, 18 artifacts, 8 enchantments, and 34 lands, averaging 2.44 mana value across non-land cards. 83% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 12% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 9 game changers (e.g. Ancient Tomb, Chrome Mox, and Cyclonic Rift), 3 fast mana (An Offer You Can't Refuse, High Tide, and Lotus Petal), 2 free counterspells (Force of Negation and Pact of Negation), 1 cheap tutor (Reshape), and 3 tutors (Fabricate, Solve the Equation, and Whir of Invention). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.
