Why bracket 4? — Optimized

4 early two-card combos: Smaug the Impenetrable + Mayhem Devil, Smaug the Impenetrable + Pestilence 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.
