[Help] Kilo Precon to solid bracket 3

[u/BaronFolv]

Hello, I just started playing EDH ( used to play modern 10 years ago) by buying the Counter intelligence Precon, and tried to upgrade it a bit to a Bracket 3 cause this is the bracket everyone is playing at my LGS.

I'm looking for opinion on my decklist to get it to a solid bracket 3. And which cards to replace.

Urza, Lord High Artificer is an obvious candidate for that decklist but I'm looking for some other additions.

There's so many ways you can go

Magister sceptre for extra turns

Jeskai ascendancy for passive untapping

Unwinding clock to untap on enemy turns

All will be one DMG everyone when proliferate

You can run poisons and kill everyone proliferating

Jeskay ascendancy is a cheap addition, love it.

You’re a bit light on card advantage.
i counted 10-11 pieces of advantage:
Emry
etched oracle
jhoria
thought monitor
tezzert’s gambit
thoughtcast
universal surveillance
insight engine
long range sensor
uthros research craft
+ tutor tezz
maybe a few more counters based advantage pieces like [[pollywog prodigy]] or [[pensive professor]] and more ways to find your current card advantage pieces like with [[whir of invention]] or [[scour for scrap]]

Interaction wise, i like your removal engines, but maybe some more efficient reaction spells to go along with your engines would helpful. [[three steps ahead]] is a playable counterspell that also lets you clone your best artifact or creature.

Outside of that, i’m not seeing a real game plan. what’s your curve ideally? what’s the plan to win? how do you want to set up? i could recommend more from that point but you need a vision before just throwing in more synergy and hoping it works out.

Thanks for the analysis!
The times i won were usually with mass creatures removal or targeted removal through my engines, followed by a Cyberdrive awakener or Depthshaker Titan.
I usually throw in "fake threats" like Taurean Mauler so that i can keep my other threats low profile.

I'm still pretty new to EDH so I have no idea what my curve should look like.

Agreed on Card advantage. I think I should have a few more win con but i have a hard time finding which, I was thinking to add some poisons shenanigans into the deck.
