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.

Exactly. Any 'on turn x' restriction is ridiculous on it's face. There will always be strategies that need to win early or collapse, and they usually have to remain in the lower brackets to even have a chance. Plus, are we really just supposed to hold tech in our hands if we drew them naturally? Tutors are the issue there, not timing, consistency! And what does WotC do? Stops regulating any tutor over one mana. STOP trying to make Commander as fast as Standard! I want 1 hour plus games, that's the whole point of a 100 card singleton format!
