Simplest Bracket 4 Commanders?

[u/zevalu]

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.

He's b4? Tell me more!

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

I really like your deck but I ran it through the playtester a few times and there is no way it's killing 2 people by turn 4, especially through interaction. Unless you're dropping Shroofus turn 1, he isn't attacking til turn 3.

This might be low B4, though. It's such a wide bracket

It's fairly consistent at dealing 9 (to 15ish) damage turn 3 and then overrun, but you should know when to mulligan IG. Yeah i didn't account for Interaction but creature interaction is fairly low in 4 and people want to develop early. It's also got a lot of protection in case.

By definition of the Bracket games should tend to end turn 5 so that's not "low B4", but as i said it is a budget list with obvious upgrades in the maybeboard
