My new empire.
My new empire is a 100-card Commander deck led by Ghave, Guru of Spores in the Abzan color identity (white/black/green), played 4 times with a 0% win rate. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 28 creatures, 13 instants, 8 sorceries, 10 artifacts, 10 enchantments, and 31 lands, averaging 2.52 mana value across non-land cards. 78% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 12% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 10 game changers (e.g. Aura Shards, Bolas's Citadel, and Demonic Tutor), 2 cheap tutors (Diabolic Intent and Green Sun's Zenith), and 1 tutor (Chord of Calling). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized
3 early two-card combos: Scurry Oak + Ivy Lane Denizen, Scurry Oak + Cathars' Crusade 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.
10 Game Changers
Cards on WotC's official Game Changers list. Any puts a deck at Bracket 3 or above; more than three means Bracket 4.
