4.1/10

Tipping Point

Game Changers

Why this bracket?

5 counter multipliers + 8 proliferate — a snowballing +1/+1 engine — but the goldfish sim wins around turn 8 (Bracket 2 "Core" pace, ~8+ turns), not the ~6-7 of an Upgraded deck, so this theme engine alone does not floor Bracket 3
Borderline verdict — close to B3: tuned 5 counter multipliers + 8 proliferate — a snowballing +1/+1 engine held at B2 by Core pace (goldfish ~turn 8) — no Game Changers or infinite combo, so the official rules keep it Bracket 2
High optimization — score 19/75 (11 card-advantage sources, 5 interaction spells, 1 fast-mana sources) — raises this deck above its hard floor
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 weakest — power 4.1 versus a set average of 4.6. That is 0.6 below the 58-precon library average of 4.7. Its Tipping Point lands on turn 4, the same as the library median.
