"Bracket three"

I Have a Question / I need Help

Hey everyone! I guess I'm looking for a little inspiration. I've got a couple friends I play in bracket three with, but they're very legal about the definition of bracket three. It's like anything goes as long as it isn't explicitly not allowed, and I'm pretty sure the bracket system isn't meant to be used that way. For instance someone is using a boardwipe Tribal deck using slivers, and they say it's a bracket two. Asymmetrical Boardwipes every two turns. I guess technically, but come on. It feels like I'm trying to play within the spirit of bracket three, and they're trying to play within the Law of bracket three. Does that make sense? I want to have fun, and It feels like they're playing for emotional damage or something, lol. I typically avoid cards that I think would feel bad to play against, but I think I just want to build something toxic, but still technically within bracket three. Can anybody help, or throw out a few ideas? My current deck is a go wide chatterfang, I have lots of cards that give me tokens, and a few Tribal cards to make my squirrels really big.

Also, I feel its worth mentioning I am winning a decent amount of games. I'm just tired. I build with a let people do thier thing philosophy, they're building win at all costs, burn the fields, salt the dirt. I just wanna swing back, even if I lose.
