Counted on , from decks collected in July and November 2026.
We counted these 20 decks with the same code EDHTuner runs on your deck.
Compared with all decks, Appa, Loyal Sky Bison decks run less card advantage (6.5 against 9) and more protection (3.5 against 2).
The first number in each row is the median for these decks, and the range after it covers the middle half of them. The last column is the median across all 18,414 decks we counted.
| This commander | All decks | |
|---|---|---|
| Lands | 36 (35-38) | 34 |

Appa, Loyal Sky Bison bracket 1 and 2 decks
These are the same rows for the 13 bracket 1 and 2 decks, by the bracket Moxfield lists for each one. No other bracket holds at least 8 of these decks, so the others count only in the numbers for all of these decks. The Brackets 1-2 column holds 13 decks. That small count can put its medians a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
| Brackets 1-2 | |
|---|---|
| Lands | 37 (35-38) |
| Ramp | 10 (5-10) |
| Card advantage | 7 (4-9) |
| Targeted disruption | 11 (8-13) |
| Mass disruption | 1 (0-2) |
| Protection | 2 (1-4) |
| Decks counted | 13 |
What Appa, Loyal Sky Bison bracket 1 and 2 decks run
These are the nonland cards these 13 bracket 1 and 2 decks run most, with how many of them run each one. The last column counts the same cards in the other 7 Appa, Loyal Sky Bison decks. With 13 decks this is a small count, so a few more decks could change the order.

What bracket is an Appa, Loyal Sky Bison deck?
Of the 20 Appa, Loyal Sky Bison decks we counted, 7 (35%) need at least bracket 3, and 1 (5%) needs at least bracket 4.
Each deck's lowest bracket here comes from Wizards' bracket rules, as EDHTuner's engine reads them from the deck's cards. The engine checks Game Changers, two-card infinite combos from Commander Spellbook, mass land denial and extra-turn cards.
| Lowest bracket | Decks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket 1 | 13 | 65% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 6 | 30% |
| Bracket 4 | 1 | 5% |
One deck can meet several of these rules, and its lowest bracket is the highest one any of them asks for.
| What the deck runs | Needs at least | Decks |
|---|---|---|
| More than three Game Changers | Bracket 4 | 1 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 0 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 5 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 2 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 0 |
The rules also weigh how early a combo can win and whether extra turns get chained. The cards alone do not show that, so a deck can belong in a higher bracket than the one shown here. On Moxfield, none of these decks has a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
