Game Changers and bracket

None of its cards is on the Game Changers list, so by that measure it fits bracket 2 (Core) or lower, the level precons are made for. Brackets also look at mass land denial, extra turns and two-card combos, which this count leaves out. What the brackets mean: Commander brackets and Game Changers. Changed the deck?
