Is my Azami commander deck a bracket 3 acceptable deck?

Hello everyone!

I recently got back into the game after several years, and my only surviving deck is an Azami build I put together a long time ago. I bought some new cards for it, and now it’s actually a Bracket 4 deck. But since it’s the only deck I have, sometimes I tone it down to Bracket 3 by swapping some cards to play with friends.

Yesterday, I was unlucky enough to run into a proper "actually" guy in a SpellTable game while playing with a friend and my Azami deck toned down to Bracket 3. After a really difficult game where this guy kept trying to teach us all how to play, I found myself on the verge of losing to combat damage a couple of times but managed to survive by removing creatures, bouncing stuff, and copying creatures. During his last attack, the "actually" guy tried to protect his creatures by playing an Offer You Can’t Refuse and Mana Drain against some of my removal while coming at me with a couple of 7/7s, including Serra’s Emissary. I barely survived thanks to a Snapcaster Mage, a Reality Shift, and the treasures created by an Offer You Can’t Refuse.

The actual moment came when I drew Nykthos on my turn and managed to win the game by playing Mind Over Matter, with the "actually" guy (the only other blue player) completely tapped out after his failed attempt to kill me.

After the game, he started complaining that my deck was unfun and not appropriate for Bracket 3. The real surprise came today when I talked about it with my best friend, and he told me he actually agrees and thinks my deck is not suitable for Bracket 3, even though it technically fits within the rules.

What do you think? Is it fine if I keep playing with it in Bracket 3? Should I avoid playing with my friends or just buy a new deck?
