The deckbuilder has no understanding of the intent of the bracket system, it just has a list of game changers. The list of gamechangers would be waaay too long if every land denial card has to be put on it.

So while they're technically legal in lower brackets, the actual players in lower brackets stand in their right to side-eye you if you include these cards because, though not illegal, these cards do promote a playstyle that's considered "unfun" in the lower brackets.

In order to continue the existence of your playgroup, I'd ask them if it's okay to play these cards, and be prepared to take them out of your bracket 2 decks and save them for bracket 4. But that's just a suggestion, your reality might play out differently.

Said on One-card wins...

#2

Just want to mention the original 1-card win commander, Godo, Bandit Warlord which can tutor for Helm of the Host on entering. If you can equip the helm, you can attack as many times as you like, and anyone that doesn't have a blocker that can't die to damage (indestructible, or Fog Bank-like) will die to Godo's infinite combat copies.
