Why bracket 4? — Optimized

1 early two-card combo: Dramatic Reversal + Isochron Scepter

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.

2 mass land denial

Destroys, exiles, or locks down many lands without replacing them. Any mass land denial means Bracket 4.

Back to BasicsHarbinger of the Seas

3 free counters

Counterspells castable without paying mana. Any puts a deck at Bracket 3; three or more means Bracket 4.

Force of NegationMental MisstepPact of Negation

alt wincon + tuned support

"You win the game" cards. Any puts a deck at Bracket 3; combined with heavy fast mana it means Bracket 4.

Laboratory Maniac

6 extra turn cards

Extra-turn cards. Fine in low quantities at Core; three or more means Bracket 3.
