Generally you want to leverage your turn 2 commander to draw an extra card and typically create a treasure token (Hence why it runs so few lands for a bracket 3 deck). Because of the consistent card draw (and a handful of tutors) throughout the deck, you tend to have very consistent access to ramp (treasures), removal and protection. Your job is to leverage your card draw to help players that are behind, make deals, and deal with imminent threats as necessary. Eventually you use your ability to make multiple copies of a single threat, such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Iron Maiden"}},{"insert":" to present players with a clock OR threatening to end them(!) at the beginning of their next upkeep, dependent on how many cards are in their hands/how many triggers you get. \n\nBracket expectation."},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThis is about as low to middle of the road as a Bracket 3 deck can be. HOWEVER, if you pilot the deck correctly, make good choices, and use protection (heh) you can be very \"successful\" with this deck. Keep in mind it was designed to be a group hug deck that has a way to win, and I knew when putting it together that I would just straight up lose games because I made my players draw too many cards, giving them all the tools they needed to win. I was ok with that because I like to see what other players decks can do. That's fun sometimes.

If you give the combo player all their combo pieces they're just going to outright win sometimes. It's just going to happen occasionally. Get used to it. They are often excellent targets for an early Black Vise. Try to leverage the other players as necessary to take them out when you see things brewing. DON'T GIVE THEM CARDS UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO.\n\nAristocrats. I find them to be one of my toughest matchups. They generate so much extra value from the cards you give them, usually while draining the table and staying high on life. They don't typically have a lot of answers for your Enchantments though, so there's that.\n\nBad Threat Assessment. Get better at threat assessment. That's all I can say. If you're not doing your best to imped the biggest threat at the table because you don't want to be mean or made a deal with them, then you're doing it wrong. Remove threats, hold back card draw from the players in the lead, and understand who your deck can and can't deal with. \n\nLack of Patience. You need to be patient. Don't go running out your threats just because you can. Wait and play them when you're going for that Viseling alpha strike. Know when to use your treasures.
