Deck overview

This deck is a low-power aggro and burn deck led by Arabella, Abandoned Doll. The strategy floods the board with creatures that have power 2 or less using token engines such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, and Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin. Once a wide board is established, Arabella converts the creature count directly into unblockable life drain and life gain on attack. Damage amplifiers like Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, and Warleader's Call accelerate the clock, allowing the deck to pressure all three opponents simultaneously. Enters-the-battlefield burn pieces such as Impact Tremors and Agate Instigator provide secondary damage that does not rely on combat connections. While susceptible to sweepers that exile permanents, the deck defends its board with Boros Charm and Grand Crescendo, aiming to close out the game around Turn 6.
