Bracket 4 — OptimizedMidrange / Goodstuff
- Good: Combo finish — 3 complete combos in the deck — e.g. Approach of the Second Sun + Vampiric Tutor.
- Good: Go wide — 4 token makers backed by 3 anthem/overrun payoff(s).
- Good: +1/+1 counters — 5 counter cards snowball your board.
- Good: Land count (38) fits this curve — ~39 is the target for a 3.79 average MV, and you have 2 cheap ramp pieces on top (40 early mana sources).
- Needs attention: Light on ramp (5); a Midrange / Goodstuff deck wants about 8–12 mana rocks/dorks/ramp spells. Find ramp for this deck →
- Needs attention: Light on card draw (3); aim for about 8–12 repeatable card-advantage pieces. Find card draw for this deck →
- Needs attention: High average mana value (3.79) — make sure ramp supports it.

The land target scales with your 3.79 average mana value and cheap-ramp count (each ~3 cheap ramp pieces shaves a land). Tapped-land count is estimated from oracle text.
- Good: Land count (38) fits this curve — ~39 is the target for a 3.79 average MV, and you have 2 cheap ramp pieces on top (40 early mana sources).
- Note: ~6 lands enter tapped — manageable, but keep an eye on your turn-1 plays.
- Needs attention: 22 cards at MV 5+ is top-heavy — lean on more ramp/lands or trim the top end so you're not stuck with a clunky hand.
