Comfortably, intentionally in bracket 2.

I am really impressed with how much value The Archimandrite generates. She receives A LOT of help from the defensive spell list, of course, but I'm pleasantly surprised with with her performance.

The original idea was to make a deck build around spells that reflect damage and change targets, so I started with pretty much all of those cards and some good spell slinger stuff to round it out, but it turns out when you're playing most of your spells defensively, guttersnipe doesn't get to really shine. Now deck is a little more proactive, but responsive enough to be in a really unique midrange-y spot. I enjoy that feeling to the deck, and would love to maintain it. Suggestions for things that would be fun/silly are very welcome.
