The Nurturer's Ascension.
The Nurturer's Ascension is a 100-card Commander deck led by Marwyn, the Nurturer in the mono-green color identity. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 35 creatures, 12 instants, 8 sorceries, 9 artifacts, 3 enchantments, 1 planeswalker, and 32 lands, averaging 2.78 mana value across non-land cards. 71% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 16% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 5 game changers (e.g. Chrome Mox, Mana Vault, and Worldly Tutor), 4 fast mana (e.g. Utopia Sprawl, Elvish Spirit Guide, and Lotus Petal), 2 cheap tutors (Green Sun's Zenith and Summoner's Pact), and 5 tutors (e.g. Vivien, Monsters' Advocate, Tooth and Nail, and Shared Summons). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

2 early two-card combos: Umbral Mantle + Priest of Titania, Staff of Domination + Priest of Titania
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.
5 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.

6 fast mana
Zero- and one-mana rocks and rituals that accelerate ahead of the table (Sol Ring is exempt). Four or more puts a deck at Bracket 3; six or more means Bracket 4.
