At Bracket 4 the deck kills on turn five through a locked combat step. In: Ancient Tomb, Urza's Saga, Flagstones of Trokair, Teferi's Protection, Enlightened Tutor, Giver of Runes, Grand Abolisher, Steelshaper's Gift, Elspeth Resplendent and Nettlecyst. Out: Kemba, Kha Regent, Guardian of the Guildpact, Speaker of the Heavens, Rootborn Defenses, Flickering Ward, Cartouche of Solidarity and two Plains. Grand Abolisher plus Yuriko is a full lock: opponents cannot interact on your turn at all, before combat or during it. Weakness: the deck loses to a sweeper cast on someone else's turn, which is the one window neither effect covers. Target play level: optimized pods, high-power casual.
