The bracket system being limited to 5 tiers is maybe the best part of the new system

If you’re like me, when I first saw the new bracket system I thought “5 tiers seems way too small for all the nuance in commander”. It seems like some people still hold that opinion as I’ve seen more than one suggestion for a .5 to be added in between each tier.

But this got me thinking, how many times have you seen someone say their deck is a 1-4? I’ve literally never seen it in over 3 years of playing. The new system seems to acknowledge this and it literally just axes the first half of the power level system we used to use. You could think of 1-5 bracket as the 5-10 of the old power system.

I understand there is nuance between the tiers, but adding anything between them just brings us back to the beginning where no one used the first half of the system. I think this new bracket system is a good thing for the game overall.
