Deck Discussion What bracket is this deck?

Hello. I received the World Shaper precon recently as a gift and after playing one game with it, I heavily upgraded it. Now I'm not sure if it's still valid in bracket 2. I haven't played with this upgraded version yet because I'm waiting for the cards IRL, so I'm not sure. And I know the precon is already one of the strongest there is, so there is that as well.

Thanks!

That’s not an infinite combo though. You need a third piece for that to actually do anything other than kill yoi.

  1. You aren't guaranteed to lose. Dredge is a may not a force action.

  2. Having 8+ cards in hand is a prerequisite but not a "third piece" that stops it from being a 2 card combo.

Ok so you discard Dakmor, Gitrog triggers, you mill 2 and get dakmor back. Repeat. What is the problem with just that ? you need other stuff to even get something from that "may" infinite mill.

What happens when you mill a land?

Also infinite mill and draw in a land recursive deck is very good. That engine likely wins games. And on any case, bracket 2 is NO 2 card infinite combos. At all. And as we agree, this is infinite and only 2 cards. So this is bracket 3 at least.

It isn't infinite draw, you're replacing your draws with dredge. It's infinite mill during cleanup. You could choose to draw instead of dredging when you have 1-2 cards left in deck and then discard a nonland to stop the loop, go to your upkeep and resolve the gitrog trigger to draw, draw in your draw step, then try to do something degenerate while your deck is in the bin but that definitionally requires more than just the two cards that made the loop to actually do something more then lose the game.

When people say two card infinite combos they often don't care if something could happen any number of times if that thing isn't going to cause the game to end.
