Why this bracket?

Borderline verdict — close to B3: noncombat burst finish (Blazing Sunsteel + Volcanic Fallout) — a real combo kill that's finite/board-dependent, so the two-card-infinite rule doesn't gate it
Noncombat burst finish: Blazing Sunsteel + Volcanic Fallout — finite and board-dependent, so it doesn't trip the two-card-infinite floor, but it's a real combo kill this list is built toward
High optimization — score 28/75 (13 interaction spells, 5 card-advantage sources, avg CMC 2.7) — raises this deck above its hard floor
Engine accuracy: 77.1% exact and 99.5% within one bracket on 1,229 organizer-labeled tournament decklists (engine v389).
