Why bracket 4? — Optimized

2 early two-card combos: Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Beacon of Immortality, Enduring Tenacity + Beacon of Immortality

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.
