Bracket System vs Power Level and Rule Zero Discussion
I know there is a lot of discourse out there on how decks are categorized (bracket system vs power level system). I was wondering what people’s thoughts are when building their decks within certain power levels or in building decks that fit one power level but play at different power levels (either built in lower level play in higher level or built at higher power levels and play at lower power levels). What are the critical components you all consider when deciding how to describe the strength of your decks.
Additionally, I am curious about what people’s thoughts think about in terms of what each system does well or poorly during rule zero discussions. Some of my thoughts are collected in the first diagram I drafted that I attempted to make in way that highlighted the positives of different systems while being realistic to the actual gameplay of decks built in each power level/bracket. The other attached graphics are those that you commonly see out there for helping you to think about deck strength. Does anyone find mine helpful or potentially more fitting, confusing, etc than the current systems and guidelines for discussing deck strength? Which of these do you typically trust/use the most when building your own decks?
