Where Zaffai, Thunder Conductor bracket 4 and bracket 3 decks differ
These nonland cards are in a far bigger share of the 19 bracket 4 decks than of the 17 bracket 3 decks. For each one the gap is at least three decks in ten. Of these 8 cards, 3 are Game Changers. Moxfield lists any deck with more than three Game Changers as bracket 4 or higher, by its own count of them, so part of this gap comes from that rule.
| Card | Bracket 4 | Bracket 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Fierce Guardianship | 12 of 19 | 0 of 17 |
| Cyclonic Rift | 17 of 19 | 5 of 17 |

What bracket is a Zaffai, Thunder Conductor deck?
Of the 60 Zaffai, Thunder Conductor decks we counted, 43 (72%) need at least bracket 3, and 18 (30%) need at least bracket 4.
Each deck's lowest bracket here comes from Wizards' bracket rules, as EDHTuner's engine reads them from the deck's cards. The engine checks Game Changers, two-card infinite combos from Commander Spellbook, mass land denial and extra-turn cards.
| Lowest bracket | Decks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket 1 | 10 | 17% |
| Bracket 2 | 7 | 12% |
| Bracket 3 | 25 | 42% |
| Bracket 4 | 18 | 30% |
One deck can meet several of these rules, and its lowest bracket is the highest one any of them asks for.
| What the deck runs | Needs at least | Decks |
|---|---|---|
| More than three Game Changers | Bracket 4 | 17 |
| Mass land denial | Bracket 4 | 2 |
| One to three Game Changers | Bracket 3 | 19 |
| A two-card infinite combo | Bracket 3 | 35 |
| An extra-turn card | Bracket 2 | 31 |
The rules also weigh how early a combo can win and whether extra turns get chained. The cards alone do not show that, so a deck can belong in a higher bracket than the one shown here. On Moxfield, 5 of these decks have a bracket below the lowest one the rules allow.
