New to EDHREC or unsure of how some of its features will work for you? Here is a simple guide to the site's core features. Have other questions about the site? <a href="https://edhrec.com/faq">Check out our dedicated FAQ page for more information and how to contact us</a>.

EDHREC is a versatile resource for all types of deck builders. At its core, EDHREC is a deck analysis and recommendation tool for the Commander format of Magic: The Gathering.
EDHREC compiles deck lists from popular deck-building websites, and computes data from those lists to help players build decks.
Whether you're upgrading a freshly unwrapped preconstructed deck, copying a ready-to-go netlist or expressing your own unique and original brewing style, EDHREC has features to help you make informed card choices.
Also, we produce a variety of professional-grade, regularly scheduled content. You can read <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles">articles on EDHREC.com</a>, listen to the <a href="https://rss.com/podcasts/bolcast/">Am I the Bolcast</a> podcast, or watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/EDHRECast">EDHRECast on YouTube</a>.
<a href="https://edhrec.com/newsletter">Our primary newsletter, EDHRECap</a>, is your dedicated recap of the week's news and deck techs sent free to your inbox every Monday and Thursday.

EDHREC collects deck data from <a href="http://www.archidekt.com">Archidekt</a>, <a href="http://www.moxfield.com">Moxfield</a>, and <a href="http://www.scryfall.com">Scryfall</a>, and new data often appears on our pages within a few days.
Updating your deck a bunch of times does not make duplicates of the deck in our database.

There's a lot of data on EDHREC, and there are several ways to approach it. Before you get lost in the twists and turns, take a little time to get familiar with the interface.
From left to right, the main menu includes a link to the home page, dropdown menus for primary features, a clipboard, search bar and optional account access.

<h3>Use the Clipboard!</h3>
As you're browsing EDHREC, you can click the "+" sign over any card to add it to the clipboard. The + sign appears when you hover over the card with a computer cursor, or after a single tap on the + sign on a mobile device.

Your clipboard is cached on your current device, and you can conveniently export the clipboard's contents as text, or directly to certain deckbuilding applications.
Once a card has been added to your clipboard, you'll get a confirmation check and the number will be added to your clipboard tally next to the search bar.

The figurehead of every Commander deck is a legend you play from the Command Zone. Commanders determine a deck's color identity, and most commander decks are built to capitalize on the commander's abilities.
The tools and content on EDHREC are dedicated to <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/how-to-choose-your-commander">helping you choose</a> this most essential card to lead your Commander deck.
If you already know the card you're looking for, you can simply type the name in our search bar.

There are over two thousand possible commanders, and that's not counting the numerous possible partner pairings. EDHREC has tools to help you break past the decision paralysis and enjoy the journey of building a deck.
<h3>Top Commanders</h3>
The EDHREC home page features a list of the most popular commanders other players built in the last week. This list may change rapidly during spoilers for a new set, and it tends to be fairly stable between set releases. The home page also spotlights one lucky Commander of the Day.
<div id="attachment_153491" style="width: 286px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/topcommandershomepage.png"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153491" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-153491 size-medium" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/topcommandershomepage-276x300.png" alt="top commanders weekly homepage screenshot" width="276" height="300" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/topcommandershomepage-276x300.png 276w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/topcommandershomepage.png 610w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px" /></a>The list of Top Commanders Weekly list updates frequently with new data.</div>

To view more Commanders based on popularity, you can check out the Top Commanders page under the Commanders menu. This menu also allows you to browse Commanders by Partner variations and color identities.
Browsing by color identity is easy and straightforward. However, one of the key aspects of EDHREC is the ranking of cards by popularity.
Viewing possible commanders in order of popularity can help you jump to the top of the power creep heap, or dig deep for something unconventional.

The default view of the Top Commanders page shows the most popular commanders of the last two years.
There are tabs to filter Top Commanders by Past Month and Past Week. The filter menu also gives us a bunch of other options to better sort cards to our needs.

The majority of Magic's 30,000+ cards are fair game in the 99 of your Commander decks. Every Commander-legal card has its own page with deck data, combos and similar cards.
Often, the search for a card begins with a broad sense of the slot it needs to fill. Browsing cards By Color identity or By Type is a direct, but often overwhelming approach. Be sure to use the filters to narrow the field.

EDHREC presents cards with data organized to help you make deckbuilding decisions. The most popular cards in the Commander format appear on the <a href="https://edhrec.com/top">Top Cards</a> page.
<div id="attachment_154623" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154623" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154623 size-large" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu-1024x154.jpg" alt="A screen shot of the EDHREC Top Cards menu." width="1024" height="154" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu-1024x154.jpg 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu-300x45.jpg 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu-768x116.jpg 768w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu-1536x231.jpg 1536w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Top-Cards-Menu.jpg 1908w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>View the top cards of the Past 2 Years, Past Month or Past Week</div>
The default view of Top Cards displays data for the last two years, in thumbnail view without grouping, sorting or filtering. This is just the tip of the data iceberg. Here, as on other EDHREC pages, there's a lot more to see beneath the surface.
You can reduce the size of the data pool by selecting the tabs for Past Month or Past Week. Additionally, there are options to narrow and organize the Top Cards to hone in on details such as card characteristics or inclusion percentages.

The marrow in the bones of every deck are the lands. EDHREC's <a href="https://edhrec.com/lands">Landbase</a> page takes the guesswork out of choosing lands for any deck. Simply select a color identity to browse the lands that fit those colors.
The lands page for each color identity displays lands by cycles and other common descriptors. You may also choose to view lands alphabetically, or ranked by popularity based on EDHREC data.

<a href="https://edhrec.com/top/salt">Once a year, EDHREC surveys the community to rate the "saltiness" of every card</a> in the database. Anyone may participate in grading cards on a scale from 0 (not salty) to 4 (most salty). The resulting salt score is the average of all the votes a card received.
Although salt scores are mostly for fun, the cards with high salt scores have infamous reputations. There is no connection between the salt scores and Commander Brackets or the Game Changers list.
Along with community members and other sites, <a href="https://archidekt.com/search/decks?">Archidekt</a> utilizes EDHREC's salt score as a casual statistic for deckbuilders to check at a glance. You can see this on a deckpage under "Salt Sum" along with further information about how this is calculated.

The EDHREC salt score is a helpful litmus test for the vibes certain cards might bring to your games.

The Game Changers list is determined by Wizards of the Coast based on input from the <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/introducing-the-commander-format-panel">Commander Format Panel</a>.
EDHREC hosts a dedicated page for Game Changers because this is essential information for deckbuilding within the <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/commander-brackets-beta-update-april-22-2025">Commander Bracket system</a>.
If you're building for a lower bracket, then you can refer to this list as cards to avoid. If you're building for higher brackets, then look at these cards as spicy recommendations.
At Bracket 3 and above, you should be prepared to face off against these cards, even if you don't play them in your own decks.

Combos have been an archetypal pillar of Magic: the Gathering since the beginning. There's a broad range of combos from <a href="https://edhrec.com/combos/early-game-2-card-combos">elaborate multi-card loops to powerful 2-card pairs</a> that can immediately win the game.
Because the Bracket system asks players to be honest about the speed and efficiency of their combos, EDHREC identifies combos that are appropriate for your target bracket.
<div id="attachment_154781" style="width: 774px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Combo-Menu.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154781" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154781 size-full" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Combo-Menu.jpg" alt="Screenshot of the combo menu on EDHREC." width="764" height="279" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Combo-Menu.jpg 764w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Combo-Menu-300x110.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px" /></a>The combo menu  provides links to view combos by color identity or recommended bracket.</div>
EDHREC's combos pages are powered by <a href="http://www.commanderspellbook.com">Commander Spellbook</a>, with step-by-step instructions, metadata, and Bracket recommendations.

The "Sets" dropdown contains upcoming and recent set releases for Magic: The Gathering. Clicking "More..." will take you to a page that displays links to every set in in the game.
If there is a particular set you're fond of, or if you're trying to keep up with the latest and greatest cards, the set pages are great place to find picks for your piles.
<div id="attachment_154793" style="width: 251px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154793" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154793 size-full" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sets-dropdown.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the Sets dropdown menu on EDHREC." width="241" height="367" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sets-dropdown.jpg 241w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/sets-dropdown-197x300.jpg 197w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px" />The most recent Magic sets appear directly in the Sets dropdown.</div>

<h2>Precon Upgrades</h2>
<a href="https://edhrec.com/precon">Preconstructed decks</a> are a critical gateway into the Commander format, and many established players enjoy playing and tinkering with precons.
Whether you're setting sail with your first precon, or you're an experience precon shipwright; EDHREC can help you turn your preconstructed deck into a cardboard <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus">Ship of Theseus</a>.
<div id="attachment_154799" style="width: 162px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Precon-Upgrade-sidebar.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154799" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154799 size-full" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Precon-Upgrade-sidebar.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the sidebar for the Precon Upgrade section on EDHREC." width="152" height="211" /></a>The  sidebar on a precon upgrade page is a quick approach to swapping cards for a precon.</div>
Once you've selected your precon of choice, you can quickly see alternative commanders, and view cards other players Add or Cut.
This can help you take your deck in any direction you like. Shore up a weak spot, double down on the deck's strengths or tune it to your own unique style.

The Tags page is the hub for dedicated themes and strategies. While there's nothing wrong with a <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kenrith, the Returned King" href="#" target="_blank">Kenrith, the Returned King</a> goodstuff pile, there's nothing cohesive about it either.
Commander decks often showcase a certain card type or share a primary mechanic. This focus gives the deck clear identity and unified purpose.
If that sounds like your kind of deck building, then the Tags pages were made for you.
<div id="attachment_154800" style="width: 149px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Tags-dropdown.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154800" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154800 size-full" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Tags-dropdown.jpg" alt="A screenshot of the tags dropdown on EDHREC." width="139" height="278" /></a>Within the Tags dropdown, you'll find Tags, Themes, Kindred and Companions</div>
The main <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags">Tags</a> page is wide-cast net for every imaginable deck archetype. Meanwhile the <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/themes">Theme</a> and <a href="https://edhrec.com/tags/kindred">Kindred</a> tabs divide the tags into two main groups: Themes are tags focused on mechanical cohesion, and Kindreds are tags focused on specific creature types.

Companion decks take the idea of a central theme to a whole new level. There are nine legal Companions (RIP <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lutri, the Spellchaser" href="#" target="_blank">Lutri, the Spellchaser</a>) from <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/iko">Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths</a>.
Choosing a companion for a deck requires the deck to follow the card's companion deckbuilding restriction in addition to matching the Commander's color identity.
<div id="attachment_154808" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154808" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-154808 size-large" src="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions-1024x249.jpg" alt="A screenshot of all the Commander-legal companion cards." width="1024" height="249" srcset="https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions-1024x249.jpg 1024w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions-300x73.jpg 300w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions-768x187.jpg 768w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions-1536x374.jpg 1536w, https://cloudflare.edhrec.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/All-Companions.jpg 1904w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>In Commander, choosing a Companion doesn't count toward the 100 card limit.</div>
<a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yorion, Sky Nomad" href="#" target="_blank">Yorion, Sky Nomad</a> is legal as a Commander or in the 99 of a deck, but its deckbuilding restriction violates Commander's 100-card limit. If you really want to oppress your friends with your EDH version of Yorion Control  then you'll have to ask them nicely, Rule Zero style.
The other eight companion cards have companion restrictions that are achievable within the deckbuilding rules of commander, and each of them presents an interesting challenge to crafting a deck.

Most of the pages on EDHREC involve browsing cards that you can export to your choice of deckbuilding site.

At a minimum, you must select a commander for the Recs page to work. If you add only the commander, then the results will reflect that legend's average deck list.
Add more cards in the 99, the Recs tool makes more specific recommendations.
