Why bracket 4? — Optimized
5 early two-card combos: Bloodchief Ascension + The Master of Lake-town, Bruvac the Grandiloquent + Traumatize and 3 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.
