Why bracket 4? — Optimized
1 early two-card combo: Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter
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.
3 extra turn cards
Extra-turn cards. Fine in low quantities at Core; three or more means Bracket 3.
