Why bracket 4? — Optimized
3 early two-card combos: Teferi's Protection + Worldfire, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Felidar Guardian and 1 more
A two-card infinite combo cheap enough to assemble and win in the early game (data from Commander Spellbook). Bracket 3 decks are expected not to run these; any means Bracket 4.
1 mass land denial
Destroys, exiles, or locks down many lands without replacing them. Any mass land denial means Bracket 4.
