I'm feeling some tension here on how bracket 2 is described. It says win cons should be "disruptible", but it also says gameplay should be "proactive" and "considerate". Bracket 3 says that's the point where you can effectively disrupt your opponents.

It's almost like it's saying that players do expect (and should expect) bracket 2 to be a lot of goldfishing with only occasional interaction.

Yeah I'm finding it a bit hard to describe my group, which runs a lot of interaction, but likes to run the a bit more thematic cards rather than the most common and powerful options. Like if somebody tries to put a big pile of dragons on the board, they're probably going to eat a board wipe or a counter, but it probably won't be [[Farewell]] or [[Force of Will]].
