Frequently Asked
What is the best color identity in Commander?
Based on 183,124 tracked casual Commander games in the last 180 days, Temur has the highest win rate at 27.9%. Win rates are normalized to a 4-player baseline (25% expected) so pod size differences are weighted fairly.
How is the highest-winrate commander picked for each color?
Within each color identity, we surface the commander with the highest pod-size-normalized win rate. To qualify, a commander needs at least 25 tracked games and at least 5 distinct registered pilots in the last 180 days. The pilot floor stops a single grinder from landing their pet deck at the top, and the threshold scales up for longer windows so a tight playgroup can't dominate.
How are color identity win rates calculated?
Playgroup.gg calculates win rates from games tracked through the app. Each win is weighted by pod size (a win in a 2-player game counts differently than a win in a 5-player game) to normalize to the 25% expected baseline for 4-player Commander.
How many color identities are there in Commander?
There are 32 possible color identities in Magic: The Gathering Commander: 5 mono-color, 10 two-color guilds, 10 three-color shards and wedges, 5 four-color, 1 five-color, and colorless.
How often is the color identity data updated?
Stats refresh every 6 hours using a last 180 days window of tracked games. Rankings shift gradually as new games are recorded and older games age out.
