#My attempt at a Kess Bracket 3 Deck

Goldfishing the deck, it is powerful. Two signets and a Demonic Tutor in my opening hand and I get to cast a Torment of Hailfire for x = 25 on turn 5.
Further playtests confirm that it is a bit dependant on good opening hands.
The most explosive lines do make me wonder if bracket 3 is the best place for this? I guess it depends a bit on your meta.
If you would like to power down, you could try to do without the tutors. If you'd like to power up, more fast mana and wheel effects could work.

Damnnn iv only really played in B3 ill probs power it down a bit I haven't been finding the lines to turn 5 wins but im sure its practice ill do some tweeks removing tutors Thanks.

In the first example I tutored for Mana Geyser and Torment of Hailfire. Casting Mana Geyser twice in the same turn is pretty big.
Vivi is another incredible engine that makes things possible.
To be frank, taking out the tutors would severely weaken the deck. It's a tough spot to be in.

Yea thats kinda what im thinking all my friends play in Bracket 3 so its a rough spot I could remove the GC tutors for other GC and just keep the 2 tutors that are there like waterlog and solve the equation might slow the deck down

Sure, give it a try. Another thing that may work is trying non-x spell finishers. A gameplay problem these decks sometimes have, is that your opponents have no way to know how close to winning you are. If they focus you down while you have nothing, it seems unjustified, and if they don't focus you down and you win out of the blue it may also be a bit of a letdown.
For instance, if you finish a big combo turn with [[Elemental Eruption]] or [[Stormscale Scion]] you may lose to their interaction. But you'd still get the big combo turn and gameplay might have been more fun that game.

That said, my experience in this, though vast, is limited to only my own two playgroups.

Yea one of the people in my POD plays alela and is like 15 counter spells and all interaction xD but I could look into going that way but yea its the big X spells Storm or Burn are the real 3 options but I was finding burn really hard to acomplish

Well, if there is a lot of interaction in your pod, they may be able to handle your deck as is.
If you have the cards already, you could just give it a shot and power down after that. If you need to order the cards still, perhaps proxy the most expensive cards the first time you bring the deck.

Yea thats a shout thanks for the help I was mostly woried that the deck wouldn't function at all as well so im glad its does actually do its thing xD
To powerful is easier to correct that deck dont do anything

It is fairly well constructed indeed. Though a bit dependant on good mulligans.
