What is Bracket 2? -The Commander Bracket system is a way to determine power level of a deck. It is NOT foolproof – a crucial part of the bracket system is the intent to play at a certain level. Click here to see information about the Commander Bracket system.

Most preconstructed decks work well for a Bracket 2 event, so it’s great for beginners!

Bracket 2: Core

Players expect:

• Decks to be unoptimized and straightforward, with some cards chosen to maximize creativity and/or entertainment
• Win conditions to be incremental, telegraphed on the board, and disruptable
• Gameplay to be low pressure with an emphasis on social interaction
• Gameplay to be proactive and considerate, letting each deck showcase its plan

Generally, you should expect to be able to play at least eight turns before you win or lose.

~ Bracket 2 deck guidelines:

• -NO Mass Land Denial. Here is a list of cards that count as MLD.
• -NO Chaining Extra Turns
• -NO 2-Card Infinite Combos
• -NO Game Changers. Here is the list of Game Changers.

This event is intended to be CASUAL. Anyone found to be playing against the spirit of a casual, fun environment or playing a deck outside of the bracket guidelines may be removed from the event and prize points revoked.

Prizing

Players earn points each week for playing and for completing different achievements, and these cumulative points can be exchanged for store credit at HobbyTown Lincoln (100 points=$1).

End-of-round Procedure

If the 90-minute round ends with no winner, the active player will finish their turn, then each remaining player gets one more turn, then the game ends.

Achievements and Scoring:

Every week, players will each receive 5 random achievement cards to add to their personal pool.  They will choose 4 cards from their pool to be active that week and place them achievement-side down in their command zone (keep the rest for future weeks).  Once the conditions are met, flip your achievement card face up and have the table verify it by signing the back!

At the end of the game, fill out the handout and submit it and all completed achievement cards to a HobbyTown employee.

Each completed achievement card is worth 50 points. Players keep unscored cards in their pool and add more weekly, but may only choose 4 to be active each week, so build and plan accordingly!
