It is not a goldfish — it fights for the table..
Main areas for improvement: The draw count is adequate, but Smothering Tithe, Windfall and Helm of the Ghastlord may be conditional. Check that they are live before the decisive turn, not just when the deck is already ahead.. At bracket 4, margins are thin. Decisions depend more on sequencing and local meta than list content — every card should have a clear purpose.. The analysis groups cards by generic roles and may miss fine-grained synergy between specific cards. Review the deck's key interactions in actual games..
Key recommendations: At bracket 4, the main question is speed relative to your local meta. Adjust the most powerful cards based on what you see in your pod.. Keep the draw package but test whether draw cards are live before the combo turn — not just after the deck is already ahead..
