Bracket: 3

Deck overview

A Boros go-wide token deck built around Arabella, Abandoned Doll, whose attack trigger converts a wide board into a repeatable global drain: X damage to each opponent and X life, where X counts your creatures with power 2 or less. The list floods the board with roughly two dozen low-cost token producers and engines - Krenko's Command, Hordeling Outburst, Raise the Alarm, Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, Krenko, Mob Boss, Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin, Skrelv's Hive, and Oketra's Monument - then backs the swarm with ETB pingers such as Impact Tremors, Molten Gatekeeper, Agate Instigator, and Witty Roastmaster. Card advantage comes from Mentor of the Meek-class enter-trigger draw and Skullclamp. The kill is a burst like Forth Eorlingas!, Call the Coppercoats, or Finale of Glory that spikes the X count, fires the pingers, and lets a Strionic Resonator-doubled Arabella trigger eliminate all three opponents on the same attack. Board-level protection in Boros Charm, Flare of Fortitude, and Grand Crescendo keeps the board alive through wipes.
