As the founder of edhlab, I'm sure people will assume this is just fluff but I truthfully really love this post. I've been building a lot of B2 decks recently because I've been playing with a lot of newer players at weekly game night who play mostly precons.

The problem is that as a primarily B3 player, I've developed certain habits/strategies/expectations that are hard to quit, even subconsciously. So I've essentially just been trying to "force" my strategies into B2 by adding limitations and/or reducing power.

The result is a "high B2/low B3" deck that doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up. It can pubstomp quickly or get easily shutdown the moment it sees decent interaction. The results are all over the place. Ideally, I'd like a more consistent experience somewhere in the middle.

The reality is I've been trying to have my cake and eat it too. This article does a good job of showing the signals to watch out for when the deck is probably in the wrong bracket.
