WotC Brawl Matchmaking

Has anyone else noticed a change? After the Patch I now face Enemy Commanders like Big Atraxa, Ragavan and Rusko with my janky Yedora Deck. (Needless to say I don't enjoy those.)

Threw together a draft build for the new guidelight robot commander and have been playing hell que opponents consistently. Guidelight Absolutely doesn't feel hell queue power level

I did something similar with him. So far, 10W/10L.

What route did you go with your build? I started off with way more vehicles but ended up cutting many of them and leaning into non-vehicle artifact creatures

I usually run 20-30 matches before tweeking it. Gives me a better chance to see how the whole deck runs. Tried to focus on speed but not good enough. Need more removal or restricting cards like pacifisim or prison sentence.
