Why this bracket?

Borderline verdict — close to B3: noncombat burst finish (Dragon Tempest, Scourge of Valkas) — a real combo kill that's finite/board-dependent, so the two-card-infinite rule doesn't gate it
Noncombat burst finish: scaling burn (Dragon Tempest, Scourge of Valkas) — 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 24/75 (23 interaction spells, 10 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).
