About ScryCheck
Transparent, deterministic power level analysis for Commander decks
Our Goal
ScryCheck was built to solve a common problem in Commander: the “Rule Zero” conversation. When you sit down at a table, everyone says their deck is a “7” or a bracket 3 — but what does that actually mean?
Existing tools either give you a single mysterious number or rely on AI guesswork. We wanted something better: a transparent, explainable system that shows you exactly why your deck received its score.
ScryCheck analyzes your deck across five distinct vectors, identifies combos, rates individual cards, and provides actionable recommendations — all with full transparency into how every score is calculated.
The 5-Vector System
Speed
How fast can your deck develop? Measures fast mana, dorks, rocks, and ramp. Fast decks can threaten wins on turns 3-4.
Consistency
How reliably can you find your key pieces? Measures tutors, card draw, card selection, and redundancy. Consistent decks execute their plan every game.
Interaction
How well can you disrupt opponents? Measures counterspells, removal, stax pieces, and protection. Interactive decks can stop opponents from winning.
Mana Base
How optimized are your lands? Measures fetchlands, duals, shocks, and fixing. Strong mana bases rarely stumble.
Threats
How do you win? Measures combos, win conditions, and finishers. Threat-dense decks can end games decisively.
