- Notes · No hard floor tripped; 1 Game Changer(s) alone suggests Bracket 3.
- cEDH signals · 0 free/reduced-cost interaction card(s) found (informational -- feeds the possibleCedh signal, doesn't floor the bracket on its own).
- cEDH signals · 2 cross-archetype cEDH staple(s) found, excluding anything already counted as a Game Changer (informational -- feeds the possibleCedh signal, doesn't floor the bracket on its own; this list is hand-curated and will go stale over time).
- Notes · possibleCedh signals (0/4, needs 3+): complete combos=0, avg nonland CMC=3.79, free/reduced-cost interaction=0, cEDH staples=2. Not enough independent signals agree to flag this as a likely cEDH build.
