Why this bracket?

  • Two-card infinite combo: James, Wandering Dad // Follow Him + Mechanized Production (= Bracket 3 floor)
  • Borderline verdict — close to B4: contains a two-card infinite combo (James, Wandering Dad // Follow Him + Mechanized Production) that assembles around turn 9 in 7% of hands — Bracket-3-legal per WotC, but pods vary on late combos
  • Engine accuracy reference: 100% bracket-in-range across 36 validation decks (engine beats Claude Sonnet/Opus/Haiku on bracket-exact).

How it compares

Against the 4 Fallout decks we analyzed, this is the strongest — power 5.3 versus a set average of 4.6. That is 0.6 above the 58-precon library average of 4.7. Its Tipping Point lands on turn 3, 1 turn earlier than the library median of turn 4.

How to drop to Bracket 2Removing the one floor at Bracket 3 would drop your deck to Bracket 2.

Upgrade this precon

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Dr. Madison Li's colour 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.
