Turtle Power!

Bracket 2

TMC — Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Eternal · 2026-03-06

Commander: Heroes in a Half Shell · Color identity: BGRUW

Bracket

Power Level

4.7/10

Tipping Point

Game Changers

Why this bracket?

6 counter multipliers — 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 6 counter multipliers — 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 27/75 (12 interaction spells, 13 card-advantage sources, 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

That is about average for the library (4.7 across 58 precons). Its Tipping Point lands on turn 3, 1 turn earlier than the library median of turn 4.

Upgrade this precon

6 staples this deck does not already run — all legal in Heroes in a Half Shell'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.
