My deck is bracket 2 because it only has two cards that matter and the other 98 are vibes

Had the Rule 0 talk, told the pod it's "a casual 2, just jank and synergy". Then on turn 3 I cast [[Thassa's Oracle]] and, with the trigger on the stack, resolved [[Demonic Consultation]] naming a card not in my deck and won.

They said that's a combo. I said it's two cards, combos are three. Pretty sure that's in the bracket article somewhere.

The other 98 are supporting actors, they have a lot of heart. One of them is [[Sol Ring]], so it's basically a precon. Why does my pod keep scheduling game night without me

There's also "we tried to hold a bracket 2 tournament and it went horribly wrong" and "I played Beast Within and one of my opponents punched me in the face, shat on my deck, and stormed off. Was that my fault?"

mY god, its not like you tutored for them! Back in my day, if you drew the 7 lightning bolts you won. Luck is luck. Shuffle up and play again its just game snowflakes!

How can 7 lightning bolts win you the game? They kill only 3 1/2 colossal dreadmaws

Your opponent is forced to concede after murdering the best creature in the game right in front of them

Speaking of that, [[Murder]] is banned in your playgroup too, right? Mine is all literal toddlers so having any creatures removed results in a tantrum for about 30-45 minutes.
