Poisonous Snakes Slithering is a 100-card Commander deck led by Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons in the Golgari color identity (black/green). TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

The mainboard runs 33 creatures, 6 instants, 5 sorceries, 15 artifacts, 3 enchantments, 2 planeswalkers, and 36 lands, averaging 2.70 mana value across non-land cards. 73% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 14% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 7 game changers (e.g. Vampiric Tutor, Worldly Tutor, and Gaea's Cradle), 3 fast mana (Dark Ritual, Lotus Petal, and Mox Amber), 1 cheap tutor (Green Sun's Zenith), and 2 tutors (Dina's Guidance and Eldritch Evolution). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized

2 early two-card combos: Tarrian's Soulcleaver + Basking Broodscale, Blowfly Infestation + Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons

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.

7 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.
