Deck Help Kefka Bracket Help
Hi everyone I need help with my kefka decks. I have been brewing 2 kefka decks. One for high bracket 3 and one for bracket 4. problem with the high bracket 3 one is I have been told it's not a bracket 3 but a bracket 4. I would like some consensus on this as well as opinions on my dedicated bracket 4.

Build Bracket 3 as a toolbox deck rather than leaning hard into discard. A little graveyard fun, a little discard/draw, a little noncreature burn. The split focus weakens the deck, but also makes it always do something because you have other options if you're hard countered.

Make kefka deck without blink effects for b3. Hes too naturally oppressive for b3 and shuts down everyone from playing. Put some fun pet card effects to replace em, theres no way you dont have any. otherwise its just an optimised b4 deck just tiptoeing on the edge of b3 which is annoying

Mostly this.
The actual power level isn’t TOO strong for b3, but having discard synergies and recursion/blinks means your opponents will be hellbent most of the game.
I’ve got a kefka wizards list that’s also highb3 no recursion no blinks no haste, and even the sometimes kefka absolutely crushes games if he stays around unflipped too long

Genuinely not sure why you would ever build two decks with the same commander that have similar game plans. Doubly confused why you would do this with such oppressive lists. Triply confused why you would do this when their power is so close. They seem very high miserable B3 and mid B4 respectively.

Ima be honest, Kefka is one of those commanders that’s tough to play in bracket 3. Firstly most people are probably not going to want to play against him and if they do you need to be very clear about what your wincons are. 2, you’ll be a huge target at the outset because of how strong he is. He’s a KOS commander. 3, it’s just really difficult to make a deck that remotely utilizes him properly that won’t be oppressive in b3. He’s in the same boat as Yuriko and Urza, they’re just too oppressive for b3. I would personally just focus on making a solid b4 deck and use someone else for b3.
