Combo scores
Every two-card combo earns points for what can be measured: how fast it works, what it produces, whether it needs setup and how much it wins in tournaments. At 4 points or more it is banned. Data is measured every week and the new list is announced on the first Monday of each month; the next announcement is on November 2, 2026.
Until November 2, 2026 the official list stays frozen. Here you can see what would change that day.
At the November 2, 2026 announcement

Those on the official list, from closest to leaving to farthest. A combo leaves only if it stays below the line for the whole review month.

How points add up
- Speed, by total mana until it works (both cards plus what running it costs): 4 or less +4, 5 or 6 +3, 7 or 8 +2, 9 or 10 +1.
- What it produces: +3 if it decides the game, if it makes infinite creature tokens, or if half of the verifier lists that include it already include a way to finish it; +2 for infinite mana or infinite creature deaths or enters; +1 for any other infinite that needs a third card.
- Setup: −1 if it needs something else on the battlefield, a card in the graveyard or a special state.
- Tournament wins, with 30 decks or more: +2 if it wins 1.15 times the norm or more, +1 if 1.05, −1 if 0.85 or less. Multiplayer uses cEDH; 1v1 uses Duel Commander.
- 1v1 only: +1 if it wins by an alternate win condition or mills an opponent’s library.
