At Bracket 4 the deck adds the fast mana a seven-drop commander really wants: Ancient Tomb, Mana Vault and Urza's Saga can put Ob Nixilis on the table by turn four or five. The One Ring and Enlightened Tutor (for Authority of the Consuls or Teleportation Circle) bring consistency, Solitude is free removal that also blinks well, Archon of Emeria and Drannith Magistrate tax the table, and Ranger-Captain of Eos finds the missing lifegain piece. Cut from Bracket 3: Soul's Attendant, Ajani's Pridemate, Youthful Valkyrie, Emeria Angel, Loxodon Gatekeeper, Angelic Accord, Fellwar Stone and Thought Vessel. Weaknesses: graveyard and enchantment hate barely matter, but Torpor Orb or Hushbringer shuts off the ETB wipe completely. Target play level: optimized high-power pods.
