BZZZZ.
BZZZZ is a 100-card Commander deck led by Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest in the Golgari color identity (black/green), played 11 times with a 73% win rate. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized
3 early two-card combos: Basking Broodscale + Sadistic Glee, Basking Broodscale + Necrosynthesis 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.
