Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"So, before I continue I want to highlight that this part of a series of decks I am designing with a strict rule-set but since this is the first deck of this format I'mma specify the ruleset now.\n1) I must build the deck with the lowest quantity of decks built for a given set (according to EDHREC at the time).\n2) I have $100 budget to make the deck since this uses TCGPlayer which I'm less familiar with given I've never used it before.\n3) I have to note when I checked the commander on EDHREC to verify it is the worst option.\n4) Partners aren't gonna be done this in this series. A lot of combinations are tied for entries and I'd rather not build each and every single one. Likewise, no single partners as that feels like cheating to me.\nThat being said, we start with Commander Legends and the lowest build rate as of 08/03/2025 with Captain Vargus Wrath which has the lowest build rate with 180 decks on EDHREC at time of writing.\n"}]}
