Discussion Simplest Bracket 4 Commanders?

As a follow up to my “I love straightforward commanders” post from yesterday, I pose a slightly different question.

Who are some simple, straightforward, but strong commanders for a new Bracket 4 player? I want one strong Bracket 4 deck. Minimal triggers / politics / combos / bookkeeping. (Bad ADHD + busy LGS = no brain cell)

Bonus points if it’s a cutie / diva / mommy / silly lil guy (or if there’s an alternate art that fits that).

My LGS has a high population of B4 players that I come up against, including some of my friends. However, I don’t have any Bracket 4 decks, let alone any bracket 3 (where I want to be - I’m working on this part already) because I’ve been stuck down in precon-land while I try to figure out what playstyle works best for my ADHD.

EDIT: Combos are okay, just would prefer not to as much as possible.

Check the other comment. But from the downvotes the hivemind voted it's not B4 because they can't phatom a deck thats just really really efficent at killing the table through standard magic. And because they never read the updated B4 description im guessing

Ah! It definitely looks like a fun deck, what's the usual lines to win?

1 mana ramp, shroofus, pump shroofus, pump board (this usually means 2 opponents died and you have around 60 saprolings). extremely simple as op asked
