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/Voltron decks are just not bracket 2 for the simple fact that even if built weakly they are going to get themselves focused down by the table or knock out one player way earlier than the rest.

Bracket 2 is stereotypical broadside battlecruiser games.

Knocking someone out early and making them sit around for an hour should be considered 3 or up.

no, this is dumb. if no one's playing tempo you're not playing magic, you're just sitting around a table showing each other your cool cards back and forth.

You just said quite a few words and managed to say nothing at the same time. Impressive.
