These are aggregate numbers across every legal commander deck deckdiver indexes, from casual to cEDH, old cards and new. It is what our database looks like, not a census of the format.
median deck price
Half of these decks cost more than $416. 22% cost over $1,000 and 3% come in under $50.
These decks were built, tuned and run through a rating engine before they were uploaded, so the sample leans toward optimized lists rather than kitchen-table ones.
what a power 8 deck costs against a power 4 deck
A power 8 deck runs a median $1,999. A power 4 deck runs $198, so power 8 costs about 10 times as much.
The thinnest power bands, each under five thousand decks, are left off so a handful of decks do not distort the medians.
the single most common power level, at 16.0% of decks
Power ratings come from the rating engine in half-point steps. The histogram shows the deck count in each step as measured, unsmoothed.
Median counts per deck, across four power bands.
Across the four power bands ramp runs 11, 12, 14, 13, spot removal 7, 8, 8, 8, tutors 1, 2, 6, 10 and basic lands 20, 16, 9, 2. A card the deck does not run is counted as zero.
of decks at 9+ power run at least one detected combo
The share of decks with at least one detected combo runs 32.2%, 58.7%, 87.5%, 99.7% across the four power bands, and the median combo count per deck runs 0, 1, 5, 7.
of decks run exactly four colours
2.44% of decks run exactly four colours. 7.12% run all five. The single most common identity in the whole corpus is five-colour BGRUW at 7.12%.
decks run Y'shtola, Night's Blessed, the most-played commander here
The order leans recent. The most-run commander here is Y'shtola, Night's Blessed, ahead of Edgar Markov and The Ur-Dragon. Recent scraping weights recent decks, so this leans toward what has been added lately rather than an all-time count.
| # | Commander | Decks | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Y'shtola, Night's Blessed | 6,338 | 0.96% |
| 2 |  Edgar Markov | 4,716 | 0.71% |

median salt score
The median deck scores 3.5 on CommanderSalt's salt metric, which measures how much a card annoys the table.
The corpus is public decks people upload to deckbuilding sites. Ratings and salt scores are computed by CommanderSalt's engine, and prices are derived from Scryfall data. The numbers refresh weekly, last computed on 2026-08-04.
deckdiver holds 751,061 commander decks. The numbers on this page cover the 661,997 of them that are legal, meaning 100 cards, a legal commander, no illegal cards and nothing outside the commander's colour identity. Filtering to legal decks means every number describes a deck you could actually build, and it barely moves the medians either way.
