Why it is Bracket 2

What sets it: Optimization score 29/75 set the verdict (no hard floor reached Bracket 2).

  • Noncombat burst finish: scaling burn (Be'lakor, the Dark Master) — present but lightly supported; finite, so it doesn't trip the two-card-infinite floor
  • Optimization score 29/75 (17 interaction spells, 6 card-advantage sources, 2 fast-mana sources) — puts this deck above its hard floor

This deck runs no Game Changers. See the full Game Changers list and the bracket rules.
