Bracket 2 readout.
Say before shuffling up
This is stock Lorehold Spirit with Quintorius as the commander. It uses cards leaving my graveyard to build value and Spirits, with flashback and recursion providing separate trigger events. The plan needs a defended planeswalker and usable graveyard resources, so combat and graveyard hate matter. I will track those departure events and the exact protection on my board. Indestructible will not protect creatures from sacrifice effects such as Tragic Arrogance, even when I cast them myself.

Bracket placement
Assessed for Bracket 2 (Core), reviewed 2026-09-18: the stock plan develops resources and wins through its described combat/value payoffs. Stock provenance alone does not determine a bracket. No listed Game Changers were identified in this reviewed inventory; discuss the actual plan, pilot experience and any modifications with the pod.
Power level
A developing board-and-resource plan rather than a measured numerical power score. Defend Quintorius and create useful, separate graveyard departures through flashback and recursion. Build Spirit pressure and recurring value while using removal to protect the planeswalker and clear attacks. No gameplay sample or measured win-turn claim is attached to this assessment.
Matchups
Best evaluated by interaction and pace: this plan has time to develop when opponents contest the board over several turns. Combat can remove Quintorius and graveyard hate can cut off stored resources. Relic Retriever rewards a card leaving your graveyard once at each end-step check; it does not remove cards itself. Indestructible does not prevent sacrifice, including your own Tragic Arrogance. Avoid exiling every useful recursion target merely to obtain a trigger. A fast hand-based win may bypass that board entirely, so compare available answers before keeping.
