What 1–5 means
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1: Minimal | Individual replacements do little for the main plan; its limiting mechanism remains. |
| 2: Narrow | Useful replacements exist, but a commander or theme restriction blocks most further gains. |
| 3: Workable | A documented package improves the plan, with a persistent setup, combat or card-pool limit. |
| 4: Broad | Several compatible packages improve the plan and its finish; important restrictions still apply. |
| 5: Exceptional | The commander supplies repeatable resources and a direct finish; on-theme additions strengthen both. |
These are Yama’s ordinal judgments, with no measured win-rate gain attached. A grade belongs to the stated commander configuration and retained main theme. Assess on-theme commander swaps separately; a replacement strategy is a separate deck build. Missing evidence means ungraded. Targeted changes refine the main package; Moderate replaces several packages; Substantial removes much of the shell. Effort describes work, not a budget or Commander bracket.
