50+ Decks for the Base – Fossil Format

56 Base-Fossil decks as of 11/22/2025 – more updates coming soon!

The goal for this article was to create a deck compendium for the Base-Fossil format. A compilation of all the decks/archetypes from multiple locations in one convenient place. We will be adding short descriptions to each deck at a later date as well as updating deck lists if/when they change.

The colored bracket system for the tiers is only a general guideline, not a hard and fast rule. It’s intended to give you a rough estimate on where the deck falls on the power scale. It won’t prevent all the feelsbads, but it should keep everyone swinging in roundabouts the same ballpark.

🟢 Tiers 1 / 1.5 / 2 (Good / Competitive)

🟡 Tiers  2.5 / 3 / 3.5 (Decent / Servicable)

🔴 Tiers 4 / 4.5 / 5 (Poor / Underwhelming)
