Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive Boros go-wide burn strategy built around Arabella, Abandoned Doll. Instead of relying entirely on combat connections, Arabella converts a wide board of creatures with power 2 or less into direct group burn and simultaneous life gain whenever she attacks. The 99 features a high density of low-cost creature spells and token makers such as Dragon Fodder, Gather the Townsfolk, and Battle Screech, ensuring Arabella triggers for substantial damage early in the game. Support pieces like Delney, Streetwise Lookout and Strionic Resonator double these burn triggers to accelerate the damage clock, while evasion enablers like Skrelv, Defector Mite and Goblin Tunneler ensure Arabella attacks safely. Card advantage engines like Skullclamp, Assemble the Players, and Mentor of the Meek maintain resources, and defensive spells like Boros Charm and Selfless Spirit protect the swarm from sweepers to close out a Turn 7 table finish.
