Why this bracket?
- 3 repeatable damage-to-each-opponent sources — a dedicated noncombat burn engine — but the goldfish sim wins around turn 10 (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: noncombat burst finish (Brash Taunter + Blasphemous Act) — a real combo kill that's finite/board-dependent, so the two-card-infinite rule doesn't gate it
- Noncombat burst finish: Brash Taunter + Blasphemous Act — 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 25/75 (19 interaction spells, 15 card-advantage sources, 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).
