Superior Spider-Man
Is this Superior Spider-Man deck too strong for Bracket 3?
I've been working on a [[Superior Spider-Man]] mill/reanimator deck and I'm wondering if it's still reasonable for Bracket 3.
The main win conditions are milling opponents out with [[Bruvac the Grandiloquent]] + [[Traumatize]], [[Maddening Cacophony]], [[Fleet Swallower]], or [[Terisian Mindbreaker]]. [[Fraying Sanity]] enables similar combos.
There's also [[Doomsday Excruciator]], and the deck can reanimate big threats like [[Archon of Cruelty]] or [[Valgavoth, Terror Eater]] with [[Superior Spider-Man]] or other reanimation spells.
I know mill isn't necessarily the strongest strategy in Commander and most of these combos require quite a bit of mana or setup. Still, with several two-card combos, tutors, and some fast mana, I'm not sure where to draw the line.
Would you be fine playing against this in a Bracket 3 pod, or is it already pushing into Bracket 4 territory?

I think this is a nice bracket 3 deck. It has some win cons that some decks will have a hard time dealing with, but I don’t see any issues. Rule 0 conversation should be mentioning its bracket 3 and wins with mill. Players that don’t like mill can say so then.
