Umbris Bracket 4 deck
Hello, me and my friends have recently decided to try out making a bracket 4 deck each, to try to counteract our dreadful "1 game low-level bracket 2/3 night" where nobody gets close to a win for hours.
I tried making an [[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] deck because I like the idea of actually trimming the options and potentially exiling forever the wincon of those pesky combo decks, but I never made a bracket 4 so I don't even know what it should look like:

I read around and overall agree with the fact that you can't expect the concept of a tribal horror or nightmare umbris deck to work, so I was leaning more towards a mill deck filled with [[Planar Void]] -like effects.
So the main loop should be mill -> Umbris grows -> mill for his power or use its power to loop him. These are main combos:
[[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] + [[Auton Soldier]] (Copying Umbris) + [[Ruthless Technomancer]]
To loop over and over Umbris and Auton soldier (Thing is this only works if I have on the battlefield only the planar void effects that don't hit my own GY)[[Umbris, Fear Manifest]] + [[The Mindskinner]] AND/OR [[Imperious Mindbreaker]] To turn a somewhat big Umbris from previous [[Tasha's hideous laughter]] and similar cards into GG on one attack.
Classic [[Zellix, Sanity Flayer]] + [[Altar of the brood]]. [[Altar of dementia]] is optionally needed here if opponents are light on creatures.
Not really a combo yet but [[Phenax, god of deception]] is the main way to mill everyone based on how much is everyone already milled using Umbris's body.
Does this make sense? I don't know how harder I should lean on tutors versus draw and if this would be fast enough.
Mind you, my friends have never played against or with bracket 4, but I want to set a good standard myself.
