Why bracket 4? — Optimized

3 early two-card combos: Basalt Monolith + Forensic Gadgeteer, Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith 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.

3 mass land denial

Destroys, exiles, or locks down many lands without replacing them. Any mass land denial means Bracket 4.
