Why this bracket?
- Extra turn effect detected: 1 card (= Bracket 2 floor)
- Borderline verdict — close to B3: optimization score 33/75 sits in the B3 range, with no Game Changers and nothing that requires B3; it lacks the deliberate-upgrade signals (deep synergy engine, premium manabase, supported alternate win) that separate an upgraded build from a precon
- Engine accuracy: 77.1% exact and 99.5% within one bracket on 1,229 organizer-labeled tournament decklists (engine v389).
