Bracket placement

Bracket 2. As an unmodified stock precon it sits in the Bracket 2 (Core) band of the official bracket system, with no Game Changers, no infinite combos, and no mass land denial.

Power level

A grindy go-wide artifacts deck that plays a fair, board-centric game and tops out around precon-average. It can out-grind another precon but lacks the fast mana, tutors, and free interaction to race tuned or higher-bracket tables.

Matchups

It shines against other battlecruiser and precon decks where the wide artifact board and anthem effects dominate the ground. It struggles against decks that go over the top with evasion or that combo off before the artifact count snowballs.

What to watch for

Board wipes are the deck's biggest threat since so much value is tied to a wide artifact board, though Open the Vaults and Wake the Past help rebuild. Paladin Danse can also blink in to grant indestructible to your artifacts and Humans in response to a sweeper.
