The mainboard runs 28 creatures, 5 instants, 11 sorceries, 5 artifacts, 5 enchantments, 1 planeswalker, and 45 lands, averaging 3.25 mana value across non-land cards. 64% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 15% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 4 game changers (e.g. Smothering Tithe, Ancient Tomb, and The One Ring), 1 cheap tutor (Green Sun's Zenith), and 1 tutor (Formidable Speaker). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized

2 early two-card combos: Staff of Domination + Overgrown Battlement, Umbral Mantle + Overgrown Battlement

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.
