Commander: Zimone, Infinite Analyst · Color identity: GU

Bracket

Power Level

4.9/10

Tipping Point

Game Changers

Why this bracket?

9 counter multipliers — a snowballing +1/+1 engine — but the goldfish sim wins around turn 10 (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 9 counter multipliers — a snowballing +1/+1 engine held at B2 by Core pace (goldfish ~turn 10) — no Game Changers or infinite combo, so the official rules keep it Bracket 2
High optimization — score 30/75 (14 card-advantage sources, 9 interaction spells, avg CMC 2.4) — 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 5 Secrets of Strixhaven Commander decks we analyzed, this is the strongest — power 4.9 versus a set average of 4.5. That is about average for the library (4.7 across 58 precons). Its Tipping Point lands on turn 2, 2 turns earlier than the library median of turn 4.

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Zimone, Infinite Analyst'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.
