Format: Commander

Commander: Arabella, Abandoned Doll

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Arabella, Abandoned Doll leads a Boros swarm deck that wins by attacking with a crowd of small creatures. The primary plan is to deploy many power-2-or-less creatures, then use Arabella's attack trigger to deal damage equal to their count to each opponent. Token generators, extra combat from Aurelia the Warleader, and life-gain synergies accelerate the clock. The deck maintains board presence through recursion and selective removal, with protection for key pieces. It is straightforward but vulnerable to mass removal and lacks deep card draw, relying on consistent early plays.
