Deck overview

Arabella, Abandoned Doll commands an aggressive Boros go-wide deck that converts swarms of low-power creatures into lethal, noncombat table-wide damage. Instead of relying solely on connecting through combat blockers, the deck triggers Arabella on attacks to deal direct damage to each opponent based on the number of creatures with power 2 or less in play. Low-mana token generators such as Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon, and Charismatic Conqueror build an overwhelming board presence in the early turns. Damage amplifiers including Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Solphim, Mayhem Dominus, and Purphoros, God of the Forge rapidly scale the direct burn into double-digit life swings per attack. Supporting protection like Boros Charm, Teferi's Protection, and Reconnaissance shields both the commander and the creature board from removal and combat attrition. By combining redundant burn triggers with asymmetric sweepers like The Battle of Bywater, the deck applies relentless multi-player pressure.
