Moxfield lists any deck with more than three Game Changers as bracket 4 or higher. That rule is why 6,056 of these 6,057 decks run three or fewer. We count Game Changers by our card data from October 23, 2026, and by that count one of them runs four. Bracket 3 allows three, and bringing a deck down to bracket 3 covers how EDHTuner names the cuts when a deck runs more.
These are the five Game Changers the most bracket 3 decks run. This table counts Game Changer lands too, which the card tables below leave out.

Cards that set bracket 3 decks apart
These cards are not in the table above. Each one is in at least 5% of bracket 3 decks, and bracket 3 decks run it at least twice as often as the 12,295 decks at the other brackets do. The bracket Moxfield lists for a deck depends partly on how many Game Changers it runs, so part of the gap for the Game Changers here comes from that rule.
