Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Grixis "cheat-and-keep" deck built around Obeka, Brute Chronologist. The plan is to deploy Obeka early behind a shell of fast mana and tutors, then use her end-the-turn ability to convert temporary effects into permanents: hasty monsters dropped by Sneak Attack, Purphoros, Bronze-Blooded, Feldon of the Third Path, or the Entomb/Reanimate package keep their bodies when end-step sacrifice triggers are exiled. The same trick makes the self-destructing extra-turn spells - Final Fortune, Last Chance, Warrior's Oath - genuinely free. Primary wins come from the value engines Etali, Primal Storm, Ancient Copper Dragon, and Archon of Cruelty; from Port Razer extra combat steps; and from the Underworld Breach + Lion's Eye Diamond core, which fuels either a storming Brain Freeze or chained extra turns. Sundial of the Infinite is a one-card backup for Obeka's signature trick.
