Why this bracket?

  • 4 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
  • Card popularity is jank-tier (69% niche/jank), but the goldfish sim closes games around turn 10 in 100% of simulated hands — a deck that reliably works toward winning stays Bracket 2 (Core).
  • Borderline verdict — close to B3: tuned 4 repeatable damage-to-each-opponent sources — a dedicated noncombat burn engine held at B2 by our Core-pace gate (goldfish ~turn 10) — it breaks no Bracket 3 rule; we promote a 0-Game-Changer engine only at turn 6 or faster
  • High optimization — score 21/75 (21 interaction spells, 1 fast-mana sources, 1 tutors) — 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).

How it compares

Against the 5 Commander 2011 decks we analyzed, this is the weakest — power 3.9 versus a set average of 5.4. That is 0.7 below the 174-precon library average of 4.6. Its Tipping Point lands on turn 4, the same as the library median.

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Kaalia of the Vast's color identity, none over $20, and none of them a Game Changer, so none forces a Bracket 3 floor on its own. Adding cards can still move the bracket: paste the updated list back into the calculator to re-check.
