Look, it's not poison, just don't target me and we'll be fine is a 100-card Commander deck led by The Serpent Society in the Golgari color identity (black/green). The owner has set the deck to bracket 3 — upgraded / mid-power.
The mainboard runs 24 creatures, 10 instants, 11 sorceries, 9 artifacts, 9 enchantments, 2 planeswalkers, and 35 lands, averaging 3.12 mana value across non-land cards. 72% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 15% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 3 game changers (Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Tutor, and Imperial Seal). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 3? — Upgraded
4 early two-card combos: Blowfly Infestation + Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons, Super State + Triumph of the Hordes and 2 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.
