Rationale

Food Chain was included in the Game Changers list for Commander due to its potential to fuel infinite combos, which necessitated a limitation for Bracket 3. However, subsequent review determined that because the Commander Brackets structure already effectively restricts such combos in the lower brackets, the card was removed from the Game Changers list as redundant.
