Why this is Bracket 3
  • Game changers · 1 Game Changer(s) found -- compatible with Bracket 3 (up to 3 allowed).
    Seedborn Muse
  • Mass land denial · No Mass Land Denial cards found.
  • Extra turns · No Extra Turn cards found.
  • Combos · Commander Spellbook estimate-bracket lookup failed and nothing was cached for this exact deck -- its signal isn't reflected in this verdict.
  • Combos · Commander Spellbook find-my-combos lookup failed and nothing was cached for this exact deck -- its signal isn't reflected in this verdict.
  • Notes · No hard floor tripped; 1 Game Changer(s) alone suggests Bracket 3.
  • cEDH signals · 1 free/reduced-cost interaction card(s) found (informational -- feeds the possibleCedh signal, doesn't floor the bracket on its own).
    Tezzeret's Gambit
  • cEDH signals · 1 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).
    Sol Ring
  • Notes · possibleCedh signals (0/4, needs 3+): complete combos=0, avg nonland CMC=3.60, free/reduced-cost interaction=1, cEDH staples=1. Not enough independent signals agree to flag this as a likely cEDH build.
