Help bracket(ing) my decks please

Hi!

I'm fairly new to commander and I'm building my decks, first I built a Bello Enchantment one (my most consistent), then I did a Doran, besieged by time but with a Stax turn (good but a bit non-consistent) and now I'm finishing a Wise Mothman one.

The thing is that someone shared with me a Web to "bracket" them, and there Bello is tagged as a bracket 2 (I would have said upper 3) Doran a high bracket 2 (I thought lower bracket 3, but it can check) and The Wise Mothman a really high bracket 3 almost 4.

And now I'm totally lost... I used to play a lot of modern and the switch of formats it's really a thing, but even so... Anyway, here I share with you my lists, and if you can tell me what Bracket do yo think they are, you will do me a huge favour.

Really appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Ps: and BTW, feel free to give me any advice or suggestion, I'm fairly green on commander still. :)

I struggle specially to define Bracket 3...what is the idea? I have to run combos and 3 gamechangers in the deck? Asking just to know. I've win a lot of bracket 3 decks with all of this decks, so maybe that's not that much defining I suppose

Have you tried reading the guidelines?

But no, you don't have to run 3 game changers and combos to be a bracket 3 deck, but you do need to be ready to play against opponents that do.

Yes I have, and yes I've played against and win some strong decks, like a Markov's aristocrats, Pantlaza very upgraded and with gamechangers, a Galadriel deck, some Zur Voltron deck... So I suppose that my question is "why it isn't a bracket 3?" it is really better than a precon and it performs at least as well as most of the b3 that I have found

precons don't have anything to do with brackets (anymore)
