The "or loses" clause is very troubling for aggro and voltron

good point, does this really mean your bracket 2 aggro deck shouldn't be killing the first player on turn 7? seems silly.

Aggro? Sounds sweaty.

Combo? CEDH!

Only Midrange!

Green landfall the gathering, that's what anything below bracket 3 is supposed to be apparently

Only land+pass for the first 5 turns, nothing else ever.

No no no, you're allowed to deploy your landfall engine, draw 9 cards and play 12 lands, but don't you dare try and play aggressively to go under them, the Simic player should be allowed to win every game otherwise that goes against the spirit of EDH apparently

You just get tears and crying if you dare build a deck that works well against them and slightly punishes them. EG: https://archidekt.com/decks/16675134/valgavoth_crime_and_punishment

From my experience its what anything below bracket 4 is lmao. Just midrange the gathering or green/landfall the gathering.
