Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Raccoon-stompy value deck built entirely around Bello, Bard of the Brambles. There is no hidden commander; the only double-faced cards are utility lands (Bala Ged Recovery // Bala Ged Sanctuary and Cragcrown Pathway // Timbercrown Pathway). The primary plan is to ramp into Bello, then play 4+ mana artifacts and non-Aura enchantments before combat so each becomes an indestructible, hasty 4/4 Elemental that draws a card on combat damage. Damage doublers turn those 4/4s into lethal attackers, while Court of Embereth provides a simultaneous table-burn finish. The secondary plan is monarch pressure plus Defense of the Heart tutoring two creatures. The deck wins through overwhelming combat rather than combo, and it is heavily reliant on Bello.
