Bracket 3 & 4 Tuning pt.1— January 8, 2026

Although we're playing Bracket 3, someone is going to take a 10-minute turn five, just to pub-stomp and claim that's not even close to competitive. Or, "You can't make me follow the Game Changer Rule, you're just poor." And I took that personally.

In:

• Homeward Path, Barbarian Ring.

  Barbarian Ring is a low-key answer for the Orcish BowmastersGC, Opposition AgentGC, and Dauthi Voidwalker.

• Mox Opal, Manifold Key, Bag of Holding, Vexing Bauble, Mask of Memory, Grinding Station, Brass's Tunnel-Grinder.

  Manifold Key can untap Mana VaultGC, and The One RingGC as well. The unblockable ability is also neat, more cards for the Urza's Saga toolbox.

• Imperial Recruiter, Crashing Drawbridge, Seifer Almasy, Mishra, Excavation Prodigy.

  More haste and some mechanic upgrade cards.

• Redirect Lightning, Dead / Gone, Deflecting Swat, Faithless Looting, Into the Fire, Mana Geyser, Reforge the Soul.

  Dead / Gone could deal with our nemesis like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse and Valgavoth, Terror Eater.

Out:

• Stone of Erech, Psychic Paper, Static Orb.

  Psychic Paper is much worse than I thought. The Stone of Erech only punishes one narrow strategy, aristocrats, and that's not only bothering me but everybody. Those problems either get solved by someone or end the game quicker, and that's okay.

• Metalworker, Squee, Goblin Nabob, Professional Face-Breaker, Chaos Terminator Lord, Skarrgan Hellkite, Sandstone Oracle.

  Metalworker draws too much focus than I thought, and doesn't ramp to cast my commander in time.

• Bolt Bend, Unholy Heat, Abrade, Strike it Rich.

Extra GCs go to the Bracket 4 exclusive sideboard:

• Ancient TombGC, Chrome MoxGC, Mox DiamondGC, GambleGC, Jeska's WillGC.

Non-GC go to the Bracket 4 exclusive sideboard:

• Red Elemental Blast.

Bracket 3 exclusive main:

• Homeward Path, Jeweled Amulet, Bag of Holding, Mana Geyser, Mishra, Excavation Prodigy, Mask of Memory.
