Read the method

B1 Exhibition

No tutors, no combos, no Game Changers. Built to show something off.

B2 Core

A precon out of the box. Wins late, loses gracefully.

B3 Upgraded

Up to three Game Changers, a late two-card line, real interaction.

B4 Optimised

No card restrictions. Mass land denial, chained tutors, fast mana.

B5 cEDH

Same deckbuilding rules as B4. The difference is the table, not the list.

Common questions

What free MTG tools does ScrollVault offer?

ScrollVault offers a Commander bracket calculator, a Frank Karsten mana base calculator, a draft simulator with 170+ sets, a hypergeometric probability calculator, an opening hand simulator, a deck price checker, and a sealed pool builder. Every tool is free, requires no login, and runs in your browser.

How does the Commander bracket calculator work?

Paste any decklist and the bracket calculator scores it against the official 2026 Wizards of the Coast bracket system (1-5). It detects Game Changers, infinite combos, fast mana, tutors, and 14 strategy axes, then assigns a bracket with a transparent breakdown of why.

How many lands should my deck run?

Land counts depend on average mana value and format. Frank Karsten's research recommends roughly 17 lands for 40-card Limited decks, 22-26 lands for 60-card Standard/Modern decks, and 36-39 lands for 100-card Commander decks. Our mana base calculator runs the exact math for your decklist.

What are the Commander Game Changers?

Game Changers is the official 2026 list of 53 Commander cards that Wizards of the Coast considers high-impact enough to push a deck into Bracket 3 or higher. The list includes cards like Mana Drain, Cyclonic Rift, Drannith Magistrate, and Smothering Tithe. Running 3+ Game Changers typically locks a deck out of Brackets 1 and 2.

Is ScrollVault free to use?

Yes. Every tool, calculator, and guide on ScrollVault is free, requires no account, and runs entirely in your browser. There are no paywalls, no premium tiers, and no decklist storage limits.
