Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Bello is a Gruul 'animated permanents' deck. The plan is to ramp into 4+ mana artifacts and enchantments, then use Bello to turn them into 4/4 Elementals with indestructible, haste, and a draw on combat damage. Damage doublers and P/T doublers multiply the hasty board into one-turn kills. The deck also has backup beaters in Etali/Ghalta and a Hornet Nest/board-wipe swarm line. No double-faced commander; Bello himself is both the engine and the only animator. The deck is fast when it finds two or three multiplier enchantments, but it is very dependent on Bello surviving.
