Notable inclusions: 2 game changers (The One Ring and Seedborn Muse) and 4 tutors (e.g. Stoneforge Mystic, Birthing Pod, and Protean Hulk). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized
2 early two-card combos: Myrkul, Lord of Bones + Devoted Druid, Basalt Monolith + Mana Reflection
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.
