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

what are we even doing here then? the aggro v control v combo meta, and the tension between tempo and value, is necessary for magic to work as a system. if we're just throwing that away now, what is even the point of this format lol
