Bracket 2 by the list · Core
Blue: the colour is how well it does what Bracket 2 allows.
- The three dials average 66 for what Bracket 2 allows: that sets the colour.
- Power 15 counts as 60 here: Bracket 2 is for Power 25 and up. With Manabase 88 and Health 55, that is 66 on average (weights 40 / 30 / 30).
- No Game Changers, mass land denial or pile of extra turns: Core by the list. Exhibition (1) is about what a deck is for, and only you can say that.
- Combos are not checked yet.
Power 15: why
- Average mana value 4.08: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 0 answers at mana value 2 or less
Manabase 88: why
- 25 sources make red, and it has a card costing {R}{R}{R}: aim for about 30
- 6 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 42.5 sources: enough for mana value 4.08
Health 55: why
- No ways to remove a threat (aim for 8)
- 16 spells cost 6 or more (26% of spells; aim under 10%)
- 14 ramp pieces ✓

15Power
How fast and how hard this deck can take over a game. Absolute: about 90 and up is cEDH, so a casual deck scores low on purpose.
Casual
- Average mana value 4.08: it acts late
- No tutors: it sees its best cards only by drawing them
- 0 answers at mana value 2 or less
- 11 cards that draw or dig
- 1 piece of fast mana: Sol Ring

- 6 lands always enter tapped
- 38 lands, counting ramp ≈ 42.5 sources: enough for mana value 4.08
- 27 sources make blue, and it has a card costing {U}{U}{U}: aim for about 30
55Health

Needs work

- 16 spells cost 6 or more (26% of spells; aim under 10%)
- 14 ramp pieces ✓
