Damage is a 100-card Commander deck led by Arzakon in the five-color color identity. TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.

The mainboard runs 23 creatures, 12 instants, 10 sorceries, 9 artifacts, 10 enchantments, 1 planeswalker, and 35 lands, averaging 4.25 mana value across non-land cards. 42% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 42% cost 5 or more.

Notable inclusions: 6 game changers (e.g. Smothering Tithe, Teferi's Protection, and Cyclonic Rift), 1 alternate win condition (Hellkite Tyrant), 1 cheap tutor (Diabolic Intent), and 1 tutor (Grim Tutor). This deck currently has legality issues for Commander.

Why bracket 4? — Optimized

2 early two-card combos: Smaug the Impenetrable + Chain Lightning, Smaug the Impenetrable + Mayhem Devil

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.
