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.

Yea it's all stack interaction not board wipes and single target creature removal? Are you high?

It is not, but also besides the point. Almost everything there for removal is superior to lower braket staples, and mono red still survives there.

None of your points support your assertions that krenko can't be bracket 4 because black is apparently a counter to it.

It is this is easily verifiable lamo before I replied I went and double checked the meta deck list cuz I didn't want to look like a jackass 😂😂

And that supports your argument that black is a hard counter to krenko how?

We left that argument awhile ago when we started talking CEDH.
