Old Bello B3 by Devo614

Format: Commander

Commander: Bello, Bard of the Brambles

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bello, Bard of the Brambles is a Gruul 'enchantment/artifact beatdown' deck: cast high-mana non-equipment artifacts and non-aura enchantments, then let Bello animate them into 4/4 indestructible hasty Elementals that draw cards on hit. The primary plan is to curve Bello into two four-mana permanents, then crack with pump/double-damage effects (Unnatural Growth, Berserkers' Onslaught, Gratuitous Violence, Xenagos). Secondary value engines-Court of Embereth, The Great Henge, Chimil, Defense of the Heart-provide card advantage and alternate finishers. There is no hidden commander; the build is almost entirely oriented toward maximizing Bello. The finish is combat damage; no infinite combo is present.
