Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Gruul deck turns high-mana-value artifacts and enchantments into 4/4 indestructible hasters that draw cards using Bello, Bard of the Brambles. The primary plan is to ramp into Bello, then deploy expensive permanents to create an overwhelming board of animated beaters. Secondary paths include using pump effects like Xenagos or Gratuitous Violence to accelerate damage, and Warstorm Surge to convert creatures into direct damage. Vehicles like Skysovereign provide additional value. The deck has no infinite combos and relies on sustained combat pressure. Bello is essential for card draw and tempo; without him the deck becomes a slower midrange beatdown.
