78% of drawn Brotherhood Regalia copies are cast before the game ends, and decks that resolve it win 34% of games, a +9.5 percentage-point lift over the baseline.

Brotherhood Regalia is a niche but sticky Equipment: across 941 tracked multiplayer Commander games on Playgroup Live, 78% of drawn copies reach the battlefield, and the card appears in 472 of the 17176 distinct decks in the dataset.

The data tells a coherent story. Players who resolve the Regalia win 34% of those games, compared to 24% in participations where the card never moved, a +9.5 percentage-point directional lift across a well-sampled pair of buckets. Ward 2, unblockability, and the Assassin type all compound once the Equipment is attached to a legendary creature, which costs only 1 mana to equip. That discount is almost certainly why median first cast lands on turn 5.0. Players tend to deploy the artifact first and equip it the following turn.

The commander distribution is wide: 383 distinct players have brought this card to a tracked game, and no single player accounts for more than a small slice of instances. Ezio Auditore da Firenze leads the top-commander list by a meaningful margin, which makes thematic sense. Beyond the Assassin's Creed tie-in, the card slots into any legendary-creature-heavy strategy that wants to push one attacker through uncontested.

≥ +2.7pp

Players who cast this card win 34% of the time (n=186) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=602).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 25% (n=54) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.

Observed gap +9.5pp; 95% confidence interval +2.7pp to +16.4pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Frequently Asked

How often is Brotherhood Regalia drawn in a Commander game?

In 941 tracked games where Brotherhood Regalia was in the deck, it was drawn 26% of the time. That is consistent with a singleton in a 100-card deck. Of 256 instances that reached a player's hand, 78% were cast before the game ended. The remainder reflects hands drawn late in games that concluded before the card could be played, not players choosing to hold it.

What turn does Brotherhood Regalia usually get cast?

Median first cast lands on turn 5.0, with the middle half of casts falling between turns 3 and 6. The card costs 2 mana to cast and only 1 to equip onto a legendary creature, so the typical line is cast on turn 2-3 and equip the following turn. Only 16% of casts land exactly on curve at turn 2, which mostly reflects the card not appearing in opening hands rather than players choosing to wait.

Does casting Brotherhood Regalia actually improve your chances of winning?

The early signal is positive. Decks that resolved the card won 34% of those participations (sample: 186 games), versus 24% in participations where it stayed in the library (602 games). The directional delta is +9.5 percentage points. Both buckets are well-sampled, but Playgroup Live's dataset is still growing, so treat this as a consistent early signal rather than a definitive conclusion.

How sticky is Brotherhood Regalia once it resolves?

72% of resolved copies are still on the battlefield at end of game. For a 2-mana Equipment in a removal-heavy format, that is a solid retention rate. Ward 2 on the equipped creature raises the cost of targeted removal, which likely contributes: opponents must spend 2 extra mana to interact with the creature carrying the Regalia, making it an unattractive target in the early turns.

Which commanders most commonly run Brotherhood Regalia?

Ezio Auditore da Firenze leads by a wide margin, which tracks with the card's Assassin's Creed flavor. Beyond Ezio, the list spans colorless-identity equipment decks (Cloud, Midgar Mercenary), wide legendary-creature builds (Lightning, Army of One), and value commanders across multiple color pairs. The spread across 383 unique players, with no single contributor dominating the data, suggests the card's appeal extends well beyond any one archetype.

Is Brotherhood Regalia legal in Commander and other formats?

Yes, Brotherhood Regalia is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage, Duel Commander, and Oathbreaker. It is not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Alchemy, Historic, Pauper, or Brawl. It was printed in the Assassin's Creed set (ACR) at uncommon rarity, and its colorless identity means it can slot into any Commander deck regardless of color restrictions.
