Rat King, Verminister bracket 1 and 2 decks
These are the same rows for the 10 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 10 decks. That small count can put its medians a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
| Brackets 1-2 | |
|---|---|
| Lands | 34 (33-35) |
| Ramp | 6 (6-7) |

What Rat King, Verminister bracket 1 and 2 decks run
These are the nonland cards these 10 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 11 Rat King, Verminister decks. With 10 decks this is a small count, so a few more decks could change the order.

What bracket is a Rat King, Verminister deck?
Of the 21 Rat King, Verminister decks we counted, 12 (57%) need at least bracket 3, and 4 (19%) need 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 | 9 | 43% |
| Bracket 2 | 0 | 0% |
| Bracket 3 | 8 | 38% |
| Bracket 4 | 4 | 19% |
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 | 3 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 7 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 7 |
| 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, 1 of these decks has a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
