There are some hard rules about what can and cannot exist in any given bracket, but some is also left to the deckbuilder's discretion regarding their intentions for the deck. Which bracket your deck falls into can help you make sure your games are with other decks of vaguely similar power levels. \n\nGavin Verhey from WotC emphasized that this system is in beta and something that you can choose to totally ignore if it's not going to be helpful to you and your playgroup.

{"ops":[{"insert":"Awesome and fast update! But naturally, it's gonna be flawed by design, and that's okay.\nbut for some reason, it seems inconsistent. I test my decks here and moxfield. All my main decks are \"1 or 2\" here, but on Moxfield they are all 1s except for my elf deck being a 3?! It seems that some cards are being detected as tutors there but not here.\n"}]}
