Apologies because I don't have an answer for your question, but it was my understanding that all pre-cons were Bracket 2. I didn't think any pre-cons came in higher or lower than that.
It would be a great service to see what the bracket is for the pre-cons, it could be a lot of work - it looks like there are currently 145 of them.
I am 14 decks in and already have multiple that are bracket 4 because of infinite combos. One of them has a 2 card combo, but it quite literally does nothing on its own, it sacs two creatures to create one token creature with the second card of the combo doubling all tokens. So 2 -> 1 -> 2 for a net gain of zero. There are a few cards in the deck that if in play will interact with this.
Of the 14 decks entered (starting with the oldest moving forward) the average bracket is 2.7.
I am going to explore options other than the site (brackcheck.com) I am using. It is having issues saving decks, and lacks navigational controls.
Wow, this is awesome work you're doing here. I never would have assumed that but I would say if I were going to buy a precon I would absolutely want to know this ahead of time.
