{"ops":[{"insert":"ELEVATOR PITCH\nThe board looks like Grixis monarch and extra-combat value. The flip is that one successful Obeka hit creates additional upkeep steps, multiplying Court triggers without granting extra turns. Those triggers can burn, access cards, and keep pressure on the table while the extra-combat package supplies a second route.\n\nTHE RUG PULL — INVISIBLE THREAT\n- MASK — VERIFIED (oracle_all.json): when Obeka deals combat damage to a player, you get that many additional upkeep steps after the phase.\n- FLIP — VERIFIED (oracle_all.json; CR 500.6, 500.10): extra upkeep steps cause beginning-of-upkeep triggers to happen again. Court of Ire can deal 7 damage instead of 2 while you are monarch; Court of Locthwain can use its monarch benefit to cast a spell from among cards exiled with it without paying its mana cost. These are extra upkeeps, not extra turns; CR 500.10's Obeka example says the added beginning phases have only an upkeep step and skip untap/draw.\n- FLIP TURN — Target window: turns 4–7, after an attack connects; not goldfish-tested.\n- TELLS — Court of Ire, Court of Locthwain, Throne of the God-Pharaoh, and the extra-combat cards.\n- RESILIENCE — Commander cost {1}{U}{B}{R}; first taxed recast {3}{U}{B}{R}; after two previous command-zone casts {5}{U}{B}{R} (VERIFIED, CR 903.8). Courts trigger on ordinary upkeeps without Obeka.\n- POD FIT — Bracket 4 because the local Oracle data reports 9 Game Changers. No extra-turn or mass-land-denial card was found; Obeka's extra-upkeep steps are not extra turns. The high GC count makes this a poor surprise for a lower-bracket table.\n\nHOW THE DECK PLAYS\n- TURNS 1–3: Build Grixis mana and establish a draw/value engine. Hold interaction for a key blocker or removal spell.\n- TURNS 4–6: Resolve a Court or another upkeep payoff, then attack with Obeka. Menace helps connect, but the commander must deal combat damage to trigger.\n- FLIP: Convert one hit into repeat upkeep triggers. If the table removes Obeka, continue to get normal upkeep value and use attacks/extra combats to close.\n\nKEY CARDS\n- VERIFIED (oracle_all.json): Throne of the God-Pharaoh makes each opponent lose life at your end step for each tapped creature you control. Aggravated Assault, Karlach, Seize the Day, Moraug, and other extra-combat cards extend attacks; they do not create extra turns by themselves.\n- VERIFIED (oracle_all.json): Counterspell, Fierce Guardianship, Deflecting Swat, Bitter Triumph, Feed the Swarm, and Terminate provide interaction or protection.\n\nREAL BRACKET\nBRACKET 4 — 9 Game Changers: Ancient Tomb, Bolas's Citadel, Cyclonic Rift, Fierce Guardianship, Grim Monolith, Jeska's Will, Mana Vault, Necropotence, The One Ring. No extra-turn or mass-land-denial card found. The curated combo catalogue had no exact match; no two-card loop was verified in the targeted review.\n\nBRACKET CONVERSION\nNo conversion or sideboard was requested; none added. A Bracket 3 conversion would need the Game Changer count reduced to three or fewer and a separate review of the remaining card package.\n\nRESILIENCE\nMANUAL FOUR-TURN CHECK ONLY; no Jev score or goldfish was run. Court of Ire, Court of Locthwain, Throne of the God-Pharaoh, and the extra-combat/creature plan continue without Obeka; only the burst of added upkeeps is lost. SECOND WIN PATH: Court triggers and Throne drains, backed by extra-combat damage. PLAN B if the flip is exposed: become monarch and use the ordinary Court triggers while protecting the board.\n\nINTERACTION & PROTECTION\nVERIFIED (oracle_all.json): Counterspell, Bitter Triumph, Feed the Swarm, Terminate, Fierce Guardianship, Deflecting Swat, Bolt Bend, and Swiftfoot Boots. The list has multiple answers; do not assume Obeka will connect through a cleared board without spending protection.\n\nMANA BASE\nVERIFIED from the list and local Oracle records: 48 true lands / 0 MDFC lands / 13 mana rocks / 0 mana dorks / 61 total sources. This is very mana-dense; curve, flood rate, and actual game speed have not been tested.\n\nMULLIGAN NOTES\nKeep functional Grixis mana, a Court or another payoff, and a way to protect the first Obeka connection. Avoid hands with only expensive payoffs and no early development.\n\nTOP 5 ORACLE TAGS\n- single-target-instant-sorcery\n- mana-rock\n- untapper-creature\n- refund\n- extra-combat-phase\n"}]}
