Why this bracket?

  • 4 life-drain payoffs + 7 sacrifice outlets — a repeatable table-draining engine — but the goldfish sim wins around turn 8 (Bracket 2 "Core" pace, ~8+ turns), not the ~6-7 of an Upgraded deck, so this theme engine alone does not floor Bracket 3
  • Borderline verdict — close to B3: tuned 4 life-drain payoffs + 7 sacrifice outlets — a repeatable table-draining engine held at B2 by our Core-pace gate (goldfish ~turn 8) — it breaks no Bracket 3 rule; we promote a 0-Game-Changer engine only at turn 6 or faster
  • High optimization — score 25/75 (10 card-advantage sources, 10 interaction spells, 1 fast-mana sources) — 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).
