In this episode of Shattered Signal, we dive into the Commander Brackets Beta, the new matchmaking framework introduced by the Commander Format Panel (CFP). Designed to help Magic: The Gathering (MTG) players find Commander games that align with their deck’s power level and desired playstyle, this system categorizes decks into five distinct brackets—aiming to create a more balanced and enjoyable experience for everyone.
We discuss our initial thoughts, experiences, and expectations for this new system. Will it solve the ongoing power-level debate in casual Commander? Can it help bridge the gap between high-powered play and more relaxed, social games? We also take a closer look at the Game Changer List—a selection of powerful cards restricted to higher-power brackets—and share our thoughts on how these restrictions might impact the format.
Join us for an informative, fun, and entertaining discussion about what this system means for the future of Commander!
