Banning bridge only stops the combo kill with the deck. It can still drop 20+ power on the board turn 2 quite easily with prized amalgam, hogaak, vengevine and a couple cheap creatures/bloodghasts. It does weaken the matchup vs tron, as that’s a deck you typically had to combo kill as ugin is a problem. Vs any matchup where you can actually attack for the win it’s still a very strong deck. That being said decks like elves can actually out power that even faster. I had an elves player drop 40+ power turn 2 against me the other day.
In regards to painter: Don’t think it’s a huge issue in commander- with all is dust it resets the entire board, and grindstone only allows you to hit one player per grindstone per turn without untap effects. Not the most degenerate commander combos, but definitely an easy one to slide into any deck.
