Why bracket 4? — Optimized

5 early two-card combos: Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel + Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Revival // Revenge and 3 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.
