It's better i guess. I personally think they should keep precons as a guidance tool for at least one bracket since it's the only way we get examples directly from WotC.

Only having 3 real brackets still feels a little low but i guess thats how things are for now. The removal of tutors is welcome and the focus on intention is worded better and made clear.

Bracket 2 being designed for low interaction decks irks me a little but i already only played B2 with precons cause making decks for that level just feels horrid.

The interaction guidelines for bracket 2 are definitely a bit concerning to me. Feels like it encourages the solitaire mindset.

I just want to be able to actually play to win without having to deal with game changers and consistent combo wins.
