Episode 5: Behind the Brackets – Interview with Charlotte Sable 

In this follow-up to our Commander Brackets Beta discussion, Shattered Signal welcomes a very special guest: Charlotte Sable, a longtime Magic: The Gathering player and a member of the Commander Format Panel (CFP)—the team behind the newly released Commander Brackets matchmaking system. 

We sit down with Charlotte to take a deeper look at how the Brackets system was created, the philosophy behind it, and the goals it hopes to achieve for Commander players across all power levels. We also chat with Charlotte about her journey through Magic: The Gathering, her love for Commander, and how she became a part of the CFP. 

This episode is equal parts fun, informative, and interesting, with a relaxed conversation that digs into the future of Commander play. 

Whether you're curious about the inner workings of the CFP or just love hearing passionate people talk about MTG, this is one you won’t want to miss!

In this episode of Shattered Signal, we dive into the Commander Brackets Beta, the new matchmaking framework introduced by the Commander Format Panel (CFP). Designed to help Magic: The Gathering (MTG) players find Commander games that align with their deck’s power level and desired playstyle, this system categorizes decks into five distinct brackets—aiming to create a more balanced and enjoyable experience for everyone.

We discuss our initial thoughts, experiences, and expectations for this new system. Will it solve the ongoing power-level debate in casual Commander? Can it help bridge the gap between high-powered play and more relaxed, social games? We also take a closer look at the Game Changer List—a selection of powerful cards restricted to higher-power brackets—and share our thoughts on how these restrictions might impact the format.

Join us for an informative, fun, and entertaining discussion about what this system means for the future of Commander!
