{"ops":[{"insert":"A deck like this will have a hard time finding a Bracket 1 pod. The purpose of the exhibition bracket is to provide a space for decks to show off a singular theme. Chaos and group slug force other decks to abandon their intentions and play a different game. That's the antithesis of Bracket 1.\nI love a group slug deck in B2 or B3. Those brackets need more disruption and interaction. The social dynamic and the decks in B2 & 3 should be able to handle a bull in the china shop. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Hey, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts — I really appreciate the perspective.\n\nThat makes a lot of sense the way you describe Bracket 1. The deck definitely doesn’t try to coexist with other strategies, it kind of forces the table into a different game, which I can see being at odds with what B1 is meant for.\n\nI can also see it fitting better into B2, where that kind of disruption is more expected — I’d love to hear how others see it.\n\nThanks again for the input!\n"}]}
