I vaguely remember this deck losing a deck I could've won. I thought I had a Helm of the Host to fetch with Godo, Bandit Warlord. I overconfidently expressed my intention to fetch it and set up a win with the equipment, which rightly drew the ire of the table. My opponents were able to kill me. Before that, I remember a long game I won pretty fairly with fat artifact creatures, like Sphinx of the Steel Wind.

Just want to mention the original 1-card win commander, Godo, Bandit Warlord which can tutor for Helm of the Host on entering. If you can equip the helm, you can attack as many times as you like, and anyone that doesn't have a blocker that can't die to damage (indestructible, or Fog Bank-like) will die to Godo's infinite combat copies.

As a matter of fact, I'm about to get a Godo, Bandit Warlord to replace the Etali, Primal Storm. A friend mine is selling Godo as a package with a Helm of the Host, saying it creates an infinite combat, hence finishing everyone off.

And yeah, I might squeeze in the goblin somewhere in there once I get hold of it.

All good points. Commander's Plate does it better.

You have a playset of big dudes but I think the weakest one could be cut for Godo, Bandit Warlord. Red struggles to tutor and your deck is full of silver bullets.

Reconsider the goblin dude. He would put in serious work in an equipment deck. Another free Gilded Lotus ;)

legendofa on Testing brackets with Merfolk combos

Minor epiphany and reframing: my infinite turns combo is exactly the same philosophy as Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host (legal in Bracket 3 pods everywhere), and might actually be more fragile. The differences are that I'm drawing a card between attacks, and Prophets needs to deal combat damage while Godo just needs to attack.

Goldberserkerdragon that specific example:

I go first.

t1: Swamp + Gravecrawler

t2: Swamp, Stitcher's Supplier, Sol Ring

t3: Swamp, Bontu's Monument + Dark Ritual + Warren Soultrader

No one actually got a t4, and I was the only one that got a t3. Turn 1 was mostly mana rocks or playing value tap lands, like the Surveil lands. Turn 2 was people mostly playing their ramp. The blue guy in the pod did hold up counter magic but funnily used it to stop the guy that played right after him to squash his Mana Vault. So, I shot my shot and no one had an answer. Like I said, people don't really see tribal zombies and think, "Oh, I should hold up interaction so they don't win on t3 or t4." That's part of the benefit :)

The pod was me, Urza, Lord High Artificer, Sigarda, Font of Blessings and Godo, Bandit Warlord.

Godo, Bandit Warlord - Synergy with embercleave, can also tutor greaves if needed.

Berserk - Can also be used on opposing creatures that are attacking your opponents for fun. Double commander damage anyone?

Tooth and Nail - Tutor for big dudes, one that gives has like Xenagos and a big beater

Green Sun's Zenith - Solid tutor

I don't see many draw sources. Have you considered the following...

Rishkar's Expertise - Draw + Tempo

Momentous Fall/Life's Legacy - The former can be used in response to removal, both fold to blue. Nevertheless, it's a huge draw source.

Bonders' Enclave - Land slot

Elder Gargaroth - Versatile

Skullclamp - Forces interaction pre-combat or else you can usually draw if it isn't exile removal

Selvala, Heart of the Wilds - Super ramp, also some draw

legendofa The Commander I had in mind was Godo, Bandit Warlord when combined with Helm of the Host, but I also didn't realize Combo and Infinite Combo were hubs, as I'm only recently learning about a lot of this site's functionalities.
