tbh kinda stumped on what I'm supposed to be doing with this in the command zone

bracket 1 big think person@hwstmtg· 5d

This kind of screams "do weird Kiki-Jiki crap with this" and my resistance is weak

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker
{2}{R}{R}{R}
Legendary Creature — Goblin Shaman
Haste
{T}: Create a token that’s a copy of target nonlegendary creature you control, except it has haste. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step.

Archon of Emeria is still in here for some reason but I will give you hella props for the inspired pick Divine Intervention

Divine Intervention
{6}{W}{W}
Enchantment
This enchantment enters with two intervention counters on it.
At the beginning of your upkeep, remove an intervention counter from this enchantment.
When you remove the last intervention counter from this enchantment, the game is a draw.

Here's some cards I'd recommend for this deck that are much more in the spirit of Bracket 1

Everybody Lives!
{1}{W}
Instant
All creatures gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. Players gain hexproof until end of turn. Players can’t lose life this turn and players can’t lose the game or win the game this turn.
“Everybody lives, Rose. Just this once, everybody lives!”
—The Ninth Doctor

Fountain Watch
{3}{W}{W}
Creature — Human Cleric
Artifacts and enchantments you control have shroud. (They can’t be the targets of spells or abilities.)
The Cho-Arrim didn’t rely only on a secret location to protect their Fountain.
2/4
Illustrated by Jeff Miracola

Greater Auramancy
{1}{W}
Enchantment
Other enchantments you control have shroud. (A permanent with shroud can’t be the target of spells or abilities.)
Enchanted creatures you control have shroud.
A delicate veil of glamers can prove as sturdy as iron.
Illustrated by Chuck Lukacs

Nils, Discipline Enforcer
{2}{W}
Legendary Creature — Human Cleric
At the beginning of your end step, for each player, put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature that player controls.
Each creature with one or more counters on it can’t attack you or planeswalkers you control unless its controller pays {X}, where X is the number of counters on that creature.

I don't sit down for a Bracket 1 game and expect to be limited to one spell per turn. I would describe includes like this one to be atypical of Bracket 1 play.

Archon of Emeria
{2}{W}
Creature — Archon
Flying
Each player can’t cast more than one spell each turn.
Nonbasic lands your opponents control enter tapped.
“Archons dispense justice according to an ancient, and flawed, premise.”

You should include this for reasons

Gilded Lotus

Emmara and I are looking for two more silly souls to build an play one or more pods in which we are build and pilot Elda

Elda, Conjurer of Spectacle
{2}{G}{W}
Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
The first nonlegendary creature spell you cast each turn has demonstrate. (When you cast that spell, you may copy it. If you do, choose an opponent to also copy it. Each copy becomes a token.)
“Definitely try this at home, kids!”

There are only two commanders whose color identity actually includes green with Rulebreaker and one of them can't play spells of other colors and the other is BIG STOMPIES We see here how they're handling ramp with Rulebreaker, and, in both cases, apparently VERY carefully Huzzah

Maular, the Next Evolution
{5}{G}{G}
Legendary Creature — Dinosaur Mutant

Rulebreaker — A deck with this commander can have creature cards with mana value 7 or greater of any color identity and any basic land cards.

Whenever a creature you control with mana value 7 or greater attacks, double its power and toughness until end of turn.

An unnatural ruler for the natural world.

Grizzlegom, Hurloon Hero
{5}{R}{G}
Legendary Creature — Minotaur Warrior

Rulebreaker — A deck with this commander can have any land cards.

Whenever Grizzlegom attacks, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token for each Plains you control. Draw a card for each Island you control. Each opponent loses 1 life for each Swamp you control. Put a +1/+1 counter on Grizzlegom for each Mountain you control. You gain 1 life for each Forest you control.

the first things I thought of for this deck

Awakening
{2}{G}{G}
Enchantment

At the beginning of each upkeep, untap all creatures and lands.

“There are times when destiny calls forth a people and demands an action. Now is the time. We are the people. This is our action. Charge!”

Silverquill Lecturer
{4}{W}
Creature — Kor Wizard

Creature spells you cast have demonstrate. (Whenever you cast a creature spell, you may copy it. If you do, choose an opponent to also copy it. Each copy becomes a token.)

“Did you bring enough to share with the rest of the class?”

Old-Growth Dryads
{G}
Creature — Dryad

When this creature enters, each opponent may search their library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.

“The jungle was here before any city. It will be here after the last city falls.”

hey so this probably the most flavorful card design ever

bracket 1 big think person@hwstmtg· 9d

I want to be perfectly clear about what I'm going to do with our new artifact creature friend

Patrolling Peacemaker
{2}{W}
Artifact Creature — Robot Soldier
This creature enters with two +1/+1 counters on it.
Whenever an opponent commits a crime, proliferate. (They commit a crime if they target an opponent, anything an opponent controls, and/or cards in an opponent’s graveyard. To proliferate, you choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)

Please do not sleep on our weird new Arboria mommy who stands proudly on a screaming donkey

bracket 1 big think person@hwstmtg· 9d

neat

Worldwalker Helm
{2}{U}
Artifact
If you would create one or more artifact tokens, instead create those tokens plus an additional Map token. (It’s an artifact with “{1}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: Target creature you control explores. Activate only as a sorcery.”)
{1}{U}, {T}: Create a token that’s a copy of target artifact token you control.
